In front of amp input before dirt; keep the sweep slow and subtle for the signature cyclic motion.

Set to Hall or Plate mode (FX loop preferred) to recreate the vast Headley Grange stone-hall ambience.

Why these settings

The Blackstar Silverline's Crunch voice paired with the EL34 response and ISF set hard to the British side perfectly tracks Page's cranked non-master Marshall Super Bass. The PRS Tremonti's humbuckers are substantially hotter and darker than Page's Danelectro lipsticks, so using the middle position (both pickups) with the volume backed off slightly to 9 thins out the low-end mud and restores string clarity. Phase 90 must run into the amp's front input so the phasing is chewed up by the amp crunch rather than sitting cleanly on top.

PRO TIPTune to DADGAD (D-A-D-G-A-D) and strike the open low D and A strings aggressively alongside the ascending octave dyads, letting the drone strings resonate against the slow Phase 90 sweep.
