Why these settings

The MATCH COMBO model in the GT-1 accurately replicates the chimey Class-A AC30/Matchless core used across modern Bethel live rigs. Using the coil-split or middle position on your PRS SE Custom 24 thins out the mid-range hump to mirror the clarity of a Gretsch or Telecaster. The GT-1's onboard Warm OD block provides transparent low-gain grit without muddying the delay repeats. Clean verse: step on the OD/DS footswitch to bypass the drive block.

PRO TIPSet your delay subdivision strictly to dotted-eighth notes and pick firmly on straight quarter notes to let the rhythmic interlocking repeats build the signature Bethel wall of sound.
