1976 Fender Stratocaster ('The Beast') into cranked vintage Marshall Super Lead / JCM800, Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer, studio plate reverb and analog delay

01TS Drive (Tube Screamer block)
Used as a clean boost to push the Marshall front-end with mid focus
02Analog Delay (Delay block)
Sets a subtle ~350ms repeating trail behind the sustained notes
03Hall Reverb (Reverb block)
Replicates the Bob Clearmountain Power Station ambient plate/hall reverb
The Zoom G1X Four uses the MS 800 model pushed by a TS Drive block to replicate Keith Scott's signature Marshall Super Lead and TS9 combination. Because the Ibanez GRG170DX bridge humbucker has higher output and thicker low-mids than Scott's vintage Strat, roll your guitar tone knob to 8 to avoid harshness and keep the TS Drive Gain low at 2 to preserve string definition. Clean verse: switch pickup to neck+middle and roll guitar volume to 6 for a dynamic clean-up.
