01Scream 808 (TS808 Drive Block)
In front of amp model to tighten low-end and boost lead sustain

Set tempo to dotted 8th (~380ms) for arena lead depth (post-amp)
03Plate Reverb (Helix Reverb Block)
Post-amp for spacious stadium ambiance
The Scream 808 block is dialed as a clean boost (low gain, high level) into the Brit 2204 model to mimic Sambora pushing cranked Marshall heads for singing lead sustain. On a standard single-coil Fender Player Stratocaster, the bridge pickup tone knob is rolled back to 8 to tame glassy top-end highs and add body. Mid EQ is pushed to 7 on the amp model to compensate for single-coil scoop.
