01Boss ML-2 Metal Core
Use as a clean boost / tightening pedal ONLY — Dist at 0, this mimics the Tube Screamer role in Trivium's chain. The Brown channel provides all the gain; the ML-2 tightens low-end and adds pick attack.
Your ESP Alexi-200 has passive EMG-designed pickups — hotter than standard passives but less compressed than active EMGs, so gain stays at 8 instead of backing off further. The Katana's Brown channel emulates the 5150-style saturation Trivium uses. Mid at 4 gives the slight scoop of their studio tone without losing note definition. The ML-2 at zero distortion functions as the tight boost they run — this is critical for palm-mute clarity.
