01Overdrive Block (Pure Drive / TS-style)
Used as a clean boost to tighten low end and add fluid sustain
02Digital Delay Block
Post-amp block set to ~380ms for ambient trailing repeats
03Hall Reverb Block
Post-amp spatial wash
The Washburn X10 ceramic bridge humbucker has a spikier top end than Buckethead's warmer DiMarzio Tone Zone, so the guitar tone knob is rolled back to 8 and amp treble is kept moderate at 5. The Mooer GE150 UK Gold model handles the thick preamp saturation, while the onboard TS-style drive block tightens the pick attack and extends lead sustain without adding mud. Clean intro: bypass the overdrive and delay blocks and switch to the neck pickup.
