RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; tightens low-end for Drop A tracking
The Joyo Jam-Buddy lacks a presence control and dedicated mid-band shelving, so treble is boosted to 7 to replicate the aggressive upper-mid bite of the Rivera KR-7. Your passive Infinity R bridge humbucker has less output and compression than the original EMG 81/Blackouts, requiring gain set to 8 on the Lead channel. Bass is kept at 6 to prevent the small dual 2-inch speakers from flubbing out under low Drop A tuning.
