Equipment Used
Simply a Jackson with an active mid-boost straight into the head. When playing metal my mid boost is necessary, but I dont require it on this setting.

Description
This is a real mid-heavy sound, great for a little Pearl Jam or RATM type heavy distortion. It can get muddy if you play too fast or have alot of bass coming from your guitar. Also, this setting sounds good when using channel A in the crunch mode as well. This is the only setting I use that doesn't EQ channel A too thin or bass heavy when using the crunch mode.

Setting
Deep: on
Presence: 5
Treble: 7
Mid: 8
Bass: 4
Tone Shift: off
Reverb: both channels as desired
Mode B: lead 1
Gain B: 8
Mode A: crunch
Gain A: 6
