01NUX MG-300 Mod Block (Chorus)
Placed pre-delay to add subtle width and movement
02NUX MG-300 Delay Block (Analog/Digital Delay)
Dotted 8th or ~380ms delay for the iconic repeating intro arpeggio notes
The studio clean blends sterile solid-state chime with crisp active EMG definition. On the NUX MG-300, running the Twin Reverb or Jazz Clean model with gain kept low at 3 prevents your SG's passive humbuckers from breaking up. The neck pickup balances the high-end presence so the arpeggios cut clearly without sounding harsh.
