The DSL40CR Classic Gain Clean channel is dialed with gain at 4 to capture the Fender Deluxe Reverb's slight power-edge grit without entering Marshall crunch. We scoop mids slightly to 4 and raise treble to 6 to emulate the naturally scooped, glassier Fender voicing through Marshall EL34s. Adding an external analog chorus pedal will fully deliver the signature dreamy wobble of the original track.
