01Jim Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95
Bypass for main riff; park in the toe-down position for the solo/outro filter bite
02Onboard Fuzz Block (Mustang LT25)
Stompbox block placed before the Metal 2000 amp model
03ZVEX Fuzz Factory
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; key to the authentic gated, velcro synth response
The Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model provides the Diezel-style compressed modern saturation, while engaging the internal Fuzz block replicates the harsh clipping of Bellamy's built-in Fuzz Factory. Set the amp's onboard Noise Gate fast to clamp down between the staccato riff hits to mimic the ZVEX gated decay. Leave your Cry Baby bypassed during the rhythm parts since the core drive is generated entirely in-the-box.
