01ME-80 COMP Block
Smooths out finger arpeggio attack
02ME-80 MOD Block (PHASER)
Subtle Mike Einziger signature 4-stage sweep
03ME-80 DELAY Block (ANALOG)
Set tempo/time around 380-420ms for rhythmic trails
04ME-80 REVERB Block (HALL)
Adds lush spatial depth
The PRS SE Silver Sky single coils naturally bring glassy Strat highs, so rolling the guitar tone to 7 and setting the ME-80 Tweed model treble to 5 tames any harshness and replicates the warm, thick Mesa Trem-O-Verb clean channel. Keep preamp gain low at 3 to retain completely uncompressed headroom for the delay and phaser blocks to breathe without clipping. Presence is left null since the ME-80 amp block uses a standard 3-band EQ.
