Set to dotted eighth note (375ms at 120 BPM). Place post-amp in signal chain
The Helix AC30 TB block nails the original Vox chime. Gain at 4 gives clean-with-edge instead of full distortion—the aggressive character comes from attack and delay, not amp breakup. Treble at 7 matches the Jaguar's bright single-coil snap. The delay is the defining element of this tone.
