| Master | 5 |
01Line 6 HX Stomp: Placater Dirty (Amp Block)
Set as main preamp/distortion engine modeled on modified high-gain British/Boutique voice
02Line 6 HX Stomp: Simple Delay
Roughly 420ms quarter-note delay with moderate repeats to mimic studio lead delay
03Line 6 HX Stomp: Plate Reverb
Adds dimensional studio space without washing out fast alternate picking
The Vox Pathfinder 10 has no mid control or built-in reverb, and its small speaker cannot reproduce the Bogner Uberschall stack used on City of Evil. Run the HX Stomp directly into the Pathfinder's Clean channel with amp gain kept down at 2 to prevent harsh solid-state clipping, allowing the HX Stomp to provide all the high-gain saturation and post-amp delay/reverb. Clean interlude: roll guitar volume back to 4 or switch to the neck pickup with the delay active.
