Why these settings

The FD TWIN model on the Zoom G1Xon provides pristine Fender-style headroom matching Jem Manuel's clean platform. The Smiger LG2 HSS/SSS configuration benefits from the neck+middle (position 4) pickup selection to replicate the classic chime and glassiness of the original recording. Mild compression and moderate chorus modulation fill out the spatial spread on multi-FX outputs. For driven chorus builds: step on the built-in SweetDrive/TS Drive block at Gain 35, Level 70.

PRO TIPPick lightly with the pads of your fingers or the round edge of a medium-soft pick over the middle pickup area to get that soft, breathy dynamic response typical of modern OPM ballads.
