01Boss OD-3 OverDrive (running into ME-90 front input)
Engaged to push the front of the BRIT STACK preamp model for harmonic punch
The Boss ME-90 BRIT STACK model provides the Marshall-style crunch foundation, while pushing mid frequencies compensates for the natural scooped character of the 60s Stratocaster single coils. The Boss OD-3 tightens up the bottom end and adds upper-mid bite to match the modern indie-punk attack on the record. Rolling tone back slightly to 9 tames excessive bridge-pickup harshness without losing cutting presence.
