01MYTH DRIVE
Onboard stomp block — provides transparent edge-of-breakup grit without masking the jangle
02SPRING 65
Onboard reverb block in REV slot — replicates the ambient Fender spring wash on the track
The original relies on a bright Telecaster into a scooped Fender tube combo with a transparent overdrive. To mimic the Telecaster single-coil cut on the Jackson's high-output humbuckers, use the middle pickup position, bump the encoder mid to 6 to restore presence, and raise treble to 7 while keeping bass tight at 4. Loud dynamic chorus: dig in harder with the pick to push the Myth Drive into natural breakup.
