Used as a tight mid-boost into the amp model to replicate Billy's focused punch

Post-amp EQ pushing ~800Hz-1kHz for the signature Eliminator honk
The original record used a thick humbucker-equipped Dean Z into a punchy Legend 50 hybrid amp. On your Fender Ultra Stratocaster, the bridge single-coil is naturally brighter and leaner, so amp mids are boosted to 8 and the guitar tone knob is pulled down to 8 to round off stringy spank while the OD-1 block adds body. Because the Boss GT-100 is an all-in-one modeler, all necessary boost and EQ tone-shaping is handled directly using onboard blocks.
