01Boss GT-1: OD/DS Block (T-SCREAM)
Used as clean boost into the amp model to tighten low end and add singing sustain
02Boss GT-1: MOD Block (CHORUS)
Subtle analog warmth mimicking Neal's vintage Boss CE-1
03Boss GT-1: DELAY Block (TAPE ECHO)
Post-amp tape-style delay set to ~350ms (quarter-note around 106 BPM)
The Jackson JS22 ceramic bridge humbucker has high output and sharp top-end, so amp treble is kept moderate at 6 while pushing mids to 7 to replicate Schon's singing Gibson Les Paul sustain. The GT-1's MS HIGAIN block paired with the T-SCREAM boost recreates Neal's cranked 100W Marshall Super Lead tone without introducing muddy clipping. Tape delay and mild chorus are essential to capturing the spacious Infinity production aesthetic.
