01NUX MG-300 EFX Block (Muff / Pi Fuzz model)
Gain source: classic scooped fuzz wash running into the clean Twin Reverb block

Adds stereo-style width and texture to the fuzz wash
03NUX MG-300 DLY Block (Tape Delay)

04NUX MG-300 RVB Block (Hall / Shimmer)
Essential shoegaze wash placed at the end of the chain
The original Japanese shoegaze tone relies on single-coil offsets pushing heavy Big Muff fuzz into loud clean Fender/Roland backlines. On your Gibson SG Modern, humbuckers have a thicker midrange, so the amp model's mids are slightly pulled back and treble is raised to retain string articulation beneath the massive fuzz and reverb wash. The amp block gain is kept low at 2 so the onboard fuzz block provides pure, un-muddied fuzz saturation. Clean intro/breaks: bypass the EFX fuzz block and switch to neck pickup.
