01Jim Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95
Used for the talk-box style filter sweeps and solo sections; leave bypassed during main riff
02Boss DS-1 Distortion
Set as a clean pre-amp mid/tightening boost into the Metal 2000 model, shaving off loose sub-bass
The Mustang III's 'Metal 2000' amp model provides the modern, saturated high-gain core of Adam Jones's Diezel/Mesa blend. Your Schecter Damien Platinum has active EMG pickups which hit the front end much hotter than Adam's passive Duncan Distortion, so amp gain is held at 6 to prevent compression mush. The owned DS-1 is staged as a tight mid-boost with minimal distortion rather than a gain source to preserve attack on the fast drop-D chugs. Note that the physical Mustang III top panel lacks a presence knob, so fine top-end edge is dialed via Treble 6. Ambient intro clean: switch guitar volume down to 6 and roll off the DS-1.
