    Gain 5.5 · Tone 5.5 · Level 6
    Open, amp-like drive that follows pick attack.

The drive stays smooth — most of the character is the amp on the edge of breakup.

SIGNAL CHAIN

  1. Boss BD-2 Blues Driver overdrive
    Gain 5.5 · Tone 5.5 · Level 6
    Open, amp-like drive that follows pick attack.
  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%.
