Place in Laney FX loop to add Slash's studio ambient spread without clouding preamp distortion
The Laney LH50 tube head provides great British crunch, but is inherently warmer with less aggressive high-mid bite than a Marshall Jubilee, so the mid control is pushed to 7 while keeping treble balanced. The Jackson JS22 ceramic neck pickup is hotter and brighter than Slash's Alnico II Pro humbuckers, requiring the tone knob rolled back to 8 to achieve the signature liquid, vocal warmth. The Zoom G1X Four handles the subtle 350-400ms studio delay in the FX loop. Fast outro coda switch: flip to bridge pickup and roll tone knob to 10 for cutting bite.
