01Onboard Overdrive Block (TS-style / Green Mile)
Used as a clean boost in front of the amp block to add sustain without mud
02Onboard Digital Delay Block
Post-amp block set to ~380ms quarter-note delay
03Onboard Plate Reverb Block
Post-amp block recreating Clearmountain's studio Lexicon space
The original track uses Keith Scott's single-coil Strat into cranked vintage British iron bathed in studio Lexicon rack processing. Because your Jackson JS22 has hotter ceramic humbuckers, amp gain is pulled back slightly and neck pickup tone is dialed to 8 to soften the high-end attack and achieve Scott's warm, singing vowel-like solo sustain. All effects are handled completely within the Mooer amp and FX blocks.
