01Chorus (RECOMMENDED — not currently owned)

RECOMMENDED — Essential for the shimmering 80s Soviet post-punk texture. A Boss CE-2 clone or TC Electronic Corona gets you there. This is the defining sound of the clean arpeggios.

Rate 4 · Depth 5

02Delay (RECOMMENDED — not currently owned)

RECOMMENDED — Analog-voiced delay around 350-400ms. Boss DD-3 or similar. Creates the atmospheric depth on both clean and drive sections.

E.Level 4 · F.Back 3 · D.Time 5

03Overdrive (RECOMMENDED — for solo/drive sections only)

RECOMMENDED — Boss DS-1 or Tube Screamer for the driven sections. Kasparyan's lead tone is warm overdrive, not high gain. Engage only for the guitar solo and heavier passages.

Why these settings

The Shinobi TG-40R is a solid-state practice amp without built-in modulation, so you cannot replicate the signature chorus/delay texture without pedals. I raised mid to 6 and treble to 7 to approximate the AC30's chiming character on a neutral solid-state platform. Your Telecaster Deluxe's Wide Range humbuckers are warmer than the likely single-coil setup Kasparyan used, so the neck pickup with tone at 7 opens up enough high-end to compensate.

PRO TIPThe magic of this tone is in the right hand — Kasparyan plays the arpeggios with a light, consistent pick attack near the neck pickup. Dig in and the tone gets harsh; stay light and let the chorus bloom. For the solo, switch to bridge pickup and roll tone to 8.
