01Compressor Block
Onboard multi-FX block in front of amp model to emulate the Boss CS-3 sustain
02Overdrive Boost Block (TS-Style)
Tightens low-end attack into the high-gain amp model
03Digital Delay Block
Post-amp FX loop placement, set to ~420ms quarter-note echo to replicate the Visual Sound H2O
The Seymour Duncan Custom 5 in your Pacifica 612 provides great clarity but slightly lower output than Synyster's ultra-hot Invader, so the onboard compressor and TS-style boost provide the necessary push and singing sustain. Mids are boosted to 7 to replicate the thick Bogner Uberschall lead character while keeping bass tight at 5 to avoid low-end mud on fast runs. Delay and reverb are applied post-gain to capture the spacious, arena-sized solo production without washing out articulation.
