01Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer
Used as a clean boost to push amp into saturation, not as primary distortion source. Level high, Drive low replicates SRV's boost technique.
The Tank G N is a compact solid-state amp without the power-tube sag of SRV's cranked Fenders, so the TS9 must do heavier lifting for saturation. Gain pushed to 7 compensates for the amp's limited natural breakup. Treble at 5 (not higher) prevents the Strat's single coils from getting ice-picky. Rolling tone knob to 6 replicates SRV's darker, fatter neck sound.
