01OD/DS Block (T-SCREAM)
Used as a clean mid-boost into the amp model to tighten low end and add singing sustain
02DELAY Block (STANDARD)
Post-amp subtle stereo spread delay (approx 380ms) for Neal Schon arena depth
03REVERB Block (HALL2)
Emulates the studio Lexicon 224 hall tail
The Jackson JS22 ceramic humbuckers are hotter and sharper than Neal Schon's PAFs, so rolling your guitar tone back to 7 and using the neck pickup softens the attack into the singing, vocal quality heard on the record. The GT-1's STACK CRUNCH preamp model provides the core JCM800 breakup while the internal T-SCREAM block adds the necessary compression and sustain without turning muddy. High hall reverb and gentle delay recreate the signature 80s arena production.
