01DOD 250 / TS Overdrive Block (NUX MG-101 EFX block)
EFX block placed before amp model to slam the front end like Yngwie's DOD 250
02Noise Gate (NUX MG-101 NG block)
Essential to clamp preamp hiss during high-speed staccato runs
03Plate Reverb (NUX MG-101 RVB block)
Post-cab studio space effect
Per double-gain rules, the Brit 1987 model gain is kept low (2-3) while the front-end EFX overdrive block provides the aggressive push and harmonic saturation. Yngwie tracks his iconic fluid, flute-like solo phrases primarily on the Strat neck pickup, while fast rhythm ostinatos shift to the bridge. The Mooer MSC 10 Pro single coils match the Strat voice well, needing full volume and open tone for top-end attack.
