01FX1/COMP (Compressor Block)
Smooths strumming dynamics for the signature rhythm chime

Engage for choruses and fills to push the preamp into mild grit
03REVERB (Spring Reverb Block)
Subtle vintage amp spring tank emulation
The GT-1's DELUXE CRUNCH model nails the cranked Blackface Fender platform used on the original recording. Since the Dean Zelinsky LaVoce features thinner-profile humbuckers, running in the middle position with the guitar volume slightly rolled back replicates the chime of Dan Vickery's Telecaster/P-90 rhythm track without muddying the low-mids. Keep the Compressor block active at all times to maintain even string articulation across open chord changes.
