SIGNAL CHAIN

  1. Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer overdrive
    Drive 3.5 · Tone 5 · Level 6.5
    Pushes the amp's own breakup harder.
  2. MXR Carbon Copy delay
    Time 4.5 · Repeats 3 · Mix 3
    Kicks in for the solo — repeats tucked under the dry signal.

Lead variant: extra gain and mids to cut through, delay for width. Pick nearer the bridge and let bends sustain.

These are starting points, not gospel. Every amp is a little different, so let your ears do the last 10%.
