01M-Vave Blackbox (Twin Clean Amp/Cab Model)
Set as primary preamp voice into clean Washburn input
02M-Vave Blackbox (Chorus Block)
Creates the wide, shimmering 90s dream-pop modulation
03M-Vave Blackbox (Modulated Delay Block)
Emulates the Quadraverb ambient rhythmic wash
04M-Vave Blackbox (Hall Reverb Block)
Essential long ambient tail for shoegaze diffusion
The Washburn WA15 is kept on a clean, neutral EQ platform with presence and reverb controls nulled since the faceplate lacks them. The M-Vave Blackbox provides the iconic Twin Reverb chime, chorus swirl, and deep ambient reverberation that define Alison's Halo's signature wall of sound. Using the Jazzmaster's middle position delivers the ideal blend of chime and body without piercing top-end.
