01HX Effects: Minotaur (Klon Centaur model)
Provides smooth, singing mid-focused sustain pushing the clean channel
02HX Effects: Rotary Drum/Horn (Leslie 145 model)
Essential for Harrison's swirling Abbey Road Leslie cabinet texture
Set up for your Marshall DSL20HR — your Line 6 HX Effects isn't an amp, so it's used as a pedal here. George Harrison played his humbucker-equipped Les Paul ('Lucy') through a cranked amp and Leslie speaker. On your Fender Telecaster single coils, selecting the neck pickup and rolling the tone knob down to 7 warms up the attack and simulates humbucker body. Running the HX Effects Minotaur into the Marshall DSL20HR's Classic Gain channel provides smooth sustain without harsh modern fizz, while the rotary model captures the Abbey Road Leslie swirl.
