- 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%.
