01Kemper Stomp Block A (Distortion / DS-1 type)
In front of amp profile to tighten low end and add saturated 80s sustain
02Kemper Delay Block (Digital Delay)
Post-stack; set to dotted-eighth / ~380ms for Celtic rhythmic bounce
03Kemper Reverb Block (Hall/Plate)
Post-stack; replicates late-80s studio production space
The Kemper's Marshall 1959 Super Lead profile delivers the punchy mid bark of Moore's hard-rock era. Running a DS-1 style stomp block with modest drive into the profile replicates the tight attack and sustain of his cranked Plexi/EV-speaker rig without flubbing the low end. Pull your Les Paul bridge tone knob back to 8 to tame high-end harshness while retaining cutting attack.
