01Green OD (Tube Screamer style OD block)
Used as front-end boost to tighten low-end flub and sharpen palm-mutes
02Noise Gate
Essential for stopping high-gain feedback during tight pop-punk rhythmic stops
The PRS SE 85/15 'S' bridge humbucker has clear treble and punchy output that fits this early-2000s Arnold Lanni production perfectly. Using the GP-200's Californian Dual model boosted by the Green OD with zero drive provides the tight, modern-voiced Rectifier rhythm heard on the record without getting muddy. Keep mids slightly scooped at 4 on the amp block while presence adds the requisite top-end sizzle. Clean verse: bypass the Green OD and switch to a clean amp block with bridge+middle coil-split.
