That explains it. All rigs boost something, that is why you use them,
and in your case you get a "crispy" sound.
But I prefer the kind of rig you are using, before SASS.
As you know, I was constantly working with different rigs for several
years. I used plates of different sizes and shapes and also bent them
in different ways. I took different segments from parabols and tried.
I gave up on all of them. Some of them did great, but there was also
always a price you had to pay, in your case "crispy". The rigs that I
did that somewhat resembles the sound from your rig, was a total
disaster around here, with all the aspen trees, in all directions.
