01Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9
Used as a mid-focused pre-boost to inject humbucker-like thickness into single coils
02Boss OD-3 OverDrive
Primary high-sustain Marshall-in-a-box distortion source running into the clean Twin
03Boss RV-6 Reverb
Set mode to Plate or Room for studio spatial depth
The original recording derived all its saturation from a Marshall Guv'nor into a clean Marshall JTM45 using a '59 Les Paul. To replicate that massive midrange bark on a naturally scooped Fender Twin Reverb with single coils, stack the TS9 (for mid push) directly into the OD-3 (for main dirt), while keeping the Twin's Bright switch strictly off and Treble cut to 4. Rolling the Strat's neck tone knob to 6 is critical to emulate Gary Moore's warm, creamy 'woman tone' and tame single-coil sharpness.
