01Overscream (AmpliTube 5 TS-style Overdrive)
Used as front-end boost/tightener into distortion (run direct into amp input)
02Slash Brit Silver / AFD 100 Preamp (or British Lead Distortion in AmpliTube 5)
Primary gain source to provide cranked Marshall British saturation into the clean Twin
03Digital Delay (AmpliTube 5)
~450ms subtle lead delay (run direct into amp input)
04Hall Reverb (AmpliTube 5)
Adds stadium depth and sustain to solo notes
The '65 Twin Reverb is an ultra-clean, scooped American platform with no master gain, so the British drive block in AmpliTube 5 serves as the core gain engine while the Twin's volume stays low and clean. The Twin's bright switch is kept off and treble dialed back to prevent high-end harshness. Active humbuckers produce higher output and hotter transients than Slash's vintage Alnico IIs, so the guitar tone knob is rolled back to 7 and overdrive gain kept low to preserve smooth, flute-like sustain. Outro fast solo: switch pickup selector to bridge, roll tone up to 10.
