01Tank-G (Comp Block)
Tightens percussive funk strumming transients and adds clean sustain
02Tank-G (Amp/Preamp Clean Model)
Fender-style clean preamp block to give glassy sparkle into the Cort CM15R front input
The Cort CM15R features only Bass and Treble controls, so the mid-range definition comes directly from your Skycaster's in-between pickup position. Running the Tank-G's compressor and clean preamp in front allows the CM15R clean channel to stay crisp without harsh solid-state clipping. Keep the amp treble boosted slightly at 7 to capture that signature bright disco attack.
