01Zoom G1X Four: RC Boost (Booster block)
Used to add warm body and touch sensitivity to single-coil pickups
02Zoom G1X Four: Chorus (Ensemble block)
Subtle modulation for the signature shimmery ballad width
03Zoom G1X Four: Delay (TapeDelay block)
Set tempo to match song dotted-eighth/quarter note rhythmic delay
To compensate for the Clifton Stratocaster's brighter single coils compared to the fuller humbucker sound of the track, the neck+middle position and an RC Boost block round out the bottom end. Gain on the MS 800 amp model is dialed back to 4 to sit precisely at the edge of breakup without getting harsh or fizzy. Rolling guitar tone back to 8 softens single-coil high-end chime into a warm, studio-grade ballad tone. For the higher-gain chorus climax: kick on an onboard TS Drive block or switch to the bridge pickup at full volume.
