01Wah Pedal (Dunlop Crybaby or similar)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for the solo's 'screaming' character. Park it at 70% heel-up for a cocked-wah treble peak, or sweep slowly during sustained notes.
02Overdrive (Tube Screamer style)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Used as a boost to tighten low-end and push the amp's front end for Mesa-style articulation. Low drive, high level.
The Ving Ving FB 100 is an unknown/unverified amp model, so I've provided settings assuming a standard high-gain solid-state or hybrid architecture. The original Mesa Mark IV has a tight, focused midrange with controlled bass — the mid at 6 and bass at 4 compensates for amps that lack Mesa's inherent tightness. Without pedals, you'll miss the lead boost and wah expressiveness that define the solo's screaming character.
