01M-Vave Tank G V2 (Overdrive Block)
TS-style boost to push the Vox amp model into Jonny Buckland's soaring, articulate lead crunch.
02M-Vave Tank G V2 (Delay Block)
Dotted-eighth ambient delay mimicking the Line 6 DL4 setting.
03M-Vave Tank G V2 (Reverb Block)
Lush hall space simulating the Boss RV-3 washed studio sound.
The Tank G V2's Vox model provides the classic AC30 upper-mid chime and natural breakup. On your Stratocaster bridge pickup, roll the tone knob slightly to 9 to tame single-coil sharpness and round out the high frequencies to match Buckland's Thinline Telecaster tone. Using the unit's onboard OD block as a mid boost tightens the solo without introducing flubby distortion. Quiet organ intro/verse: bypass the OD block and roll guitar volume to 7.
