    Drive 1 · Tone 4.5 · Level 7.5
    Tightening boost in front of the high-gain channel.
  2. MXR Carbon Copy delay
    Time 3.5 · 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%.
