The RB-110 shares the classic Ampeg mid-forward SVT DNA, so engaging the onboard SGT (Super Grit Technology) circuit with Grit set around 5-6 recreates Anders Kjølholm's tube growl without needing external dirt. The Boss ST-2 is a guitar distortion pedal that severely cuts low-end sub-frequencies on bass, so leave it bypassed. Boost the mids and treble on the amp to capture the hard pick attack of the album mix.
