Going up amp settings — Fender Front man 10 g

02Boss CH-1 Super Chorus
Emulates the Roland JC / tape-flutted doubling
03Boss DD-7 Digital Delay
Set mode to Analog or Modulate to emulate Will Sergeant's RE-201 Space Echo repeats
04Boss RV-6 Reverb
Set mode to Plate or Spring for surf/post-punk space
The Frontman 10G lacks a mid control, presence knob, and onboard reverb, so mid, presence, and amp reverb are nulled while the RV-6 provides the wash. Sergeant played bright single-coil guitars into pristine, glassy solid-state rigs; on your humbucker PRS S2, use the coil-split middle position and pull bass down to 4 to prevent the 6-inch speaker from muddying up. Keeping the Frontman on Clean with gain at 3 ensures completely uncompressed headroom for your Dyna Comp and time-based pedals to replicate the 1980 post-punk chime.
