Playing tips
- Focus on tight, percussive palm muting to achieve the punchy attack characteristic of the original tone.
- Use a strong picking attack to maintain clarity and note separation under gain.
- Experiment with the multi-FX unit's distortion settings to find a balance that mimics the MXR Distortion + sound.
