Set delay time to ~425ms with 2-3 audible repeats positioned after the amp model

Placed at the end of the signal chain for studio space
To replicate Slash's thick Les Paul neck pickup on a Stratocaster single coil, the guitar tone knob is rolled back to 7 and the amp EQ pushes mids to 8 with treble trimmed to 5. The Mooer GE150's JCM800 model provides the core Marshall crunch, while the onboard delay and plate reverb blocks recreate the studio production depth. For the heavy chorus and bridge sections, switch the Strat to the bridge pickup with the tone knob opened back up to 10.
