01NUX MG-300 Compressor Block (ROSE COMP)
Placed pre-amp for smooth fluid sustain
02NUX MG-300 Drive Block (TS9 / TUBE DRV)
Clean boost mode tightening the low end and pushing upper mids
03NUX MG-300 Delay Block (ANALOG DELAY)
Post-amp / FX chain set to ~380ms for vocal lead bounce
The high-output ceramic humbuckers on your Cort X100 push the front end hard like Synyster Gates' Seymour Duncan Invader, so moderate the amp block gain to 7 to prevent low-end flub. The Fireman/Recto model provides the thick American high-gain core, while boosting the mids compensates for the naturally aggressive modern scoop. The TS9 block acts purely as a tightening boost into the high-gain amp model.
