Well, I asked for information on this pedal, and I got it! Jason Q. emailed me in early February and very kindly offered to send me a scan from the Ibanez manual. Thank you VERY much, Jason!!
The complete scan is a large file (over 220KB), and if you want to see it, click here!
Otherwise, here are some highlights:
Ibanez claims that this pedal was modeled after a certain well-known British amp, renowned for its massive tone.
To that end, the controls are designed thusly: DRIVE controls the amount of distortion (duh!), ATTACK controls "predistortion treble boost" (oh?), while PUNCH and EDGE provide post distortion EQ. To further "clarify", the PUNCH control simulates cabinet resonance at certain low frequencies. Okay, this came as a surprise to me!
Here are some suggested settings:
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to play around with my MS-10. Knowledge is power, and in this case, knowledge should make for powerful tone! Once again, many thanks to Jason Q!
Got any pedal discoveries of your own? Got any settings you'd like to share? E-mail the Stratomaster.
