01Jim Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95
Bypass for main riff and rhythms; engage for wah solo section
02Boss DD-7 Digital Delay
(FX loop) Set to ~320ms dotted 8th; engage ONLY for the iconic intro delay sequence, bypass for main riff
The AFD100 is engineered specifically to replicate the Levi-modded Marshall 1959 from Appetite, so use the AFD mode as the primary gain stage. Keep the DS-1 bypassed since the amp's onboard tube saturation delivers the authentic harmonically rich crunch without extra clipping. Mids are pushed to 8 to match the aggressive bark of the Derrig replica's Alnico II humbuckers. Intro delay: kick on the DD-7 for the opening descending lick, then immediately bypass it as the main riff kicks in.
