SIGNAL CHAIN

    Drive 4.5 · Tone 5.5 · Level 6.5
    Mild push for the dirty rhythm parts.
  2. MXR Carbon Copy delay
    Time 4 · 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%.
