01OptComp (Optical Compressor Block)
Evens out strumming dynamics to simulate the compressed 12-string record attack
02CHORUS (Stereo Chorus Block)
Gives the Strat the signature double-tracked 12-string shimmer
The studio track layers acoustic and electric 12-string guitars; on a Strat with single coils, setting position 4 (bridge+middle) with light chorus directly emulates that jangle. The Twin Reverb model provides a pristine clean platform, while slight mid compensation balances the thinner ceramic single-coil pickups. Fuzz lead sections later in the track can be reached by engaging an onboard GreatMuff or T-Scream drive block.
