When I took to adopting it to the Black Math format I took a couple liberties with the formula. I gave the muff side a lower gain transistor set to really give it a different texture and emphasize the roundness. And then in true MAE fashion, I then took the boost section and completely reconfigured it with double the gain of the normal boost to completely smash it to bits.

Wooly bass to the left and treble to the
