01Cube Baby (use as boost/tighten)

Run into amp input; use a low-gain OD setting to tighten the low end and add midrange punch like a TS would on the original. If Cube Baby has a 'Metal' or 'Distortion' mode, avoid it—use 'Overdrive' or 'Boost' mode.

Why these settings

The Randall RX15M is a solid-state practice amp with less harmonic complexity than the Mesa Rectifier, so it will sound tighter but less 'alive.' I scooped the mids slightly (4) to approximate the Rectifier's naturally scooped voicing. The Cube Baby running as a clean boost into the front tightens flubby low end and adds the midrange cut that makes riffs punch through—this compensates for the RX15M's smaller speaker and solid-state compression.

PRO TIPPalm-mute harder than you think and let the pick attack do the work—Adam Gontier's rhythm tone on this album gets its aggression from picking dynamics, not just gain. Keep your fretting hand tight on the opening riff to kill string noise between the staccato power chords.
