RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
You own the exact amplifier Mantas used on the album, so plug directly into the High sensitivity input and max out the Preamp Gain (10). Because your Stratocaster has brighter, lower-output single coils than Mantas's humbucker-equipped Flying V, the amp treble is dialed back to 5 with the guitar tone at 8 to avoid ice-pick highs, while bass is pushed to 7 for low-end body. To capture the full chainsaw rasp of the record, adding a vintage-style octave fuzz (like a Univox/CSL Super Fuzz clone) in front is the ultimate upgrade.
