01OD/DS Block (T-SCREAM / OD-1 Style Boost)
Tightens the bottom end and pushes the preamp into George Lynch's trademark singing sustain
02DELAY Block (Digital Delay)
Set delay time to roughly 380-400ms for authentic 80s arena lead repeats
03REVERB Block (Plate)
Recreates the studio plate reverb ambience
George Lynch achieved his razor-sharp attack by stacking a high-gain Marshall with a mid-forward boost and aggressive EQ curve. On the GT-1, the MS HIGAIN model provides the core crunch while the front-end OD boost tightens the low-frequency flub and adds harmonic bite to your Jackson ceramic humbuckers. Clean acoustic/chorus intro/verse: bypass the OD/DS block and switch to the CLEAN TWIN amp model with onboard chorus.
