01Boss GX-100: T-SCREAM OD Block
Placed pre-amp to tighten the bottom end and add vocal midrange sustain
02Boss GX-100: ANALOG DELAY Block
Post-amp/cab: set delay time to ~420ms (dotted eighth/quarter mix) to provide soaring space without cluttering
03Boss GX-100: HALL REVERB Block
Post-amp: warm ambient spread
Zaza's singing tone relies heavily on a fluid neck pickup attack and strong vocal mids without harsh fizz. The Gibson Les Paul Studio 490R neck humbucker is warmer and thicker than his original custom guitars, so tone is pulled back slightly to 7 and amp treble is kept moderate at 5 to smooth out transients. The GX-100's T-Scream acts as a mid-focused clean boost pushing the AIRD amp block into endless legato sustain.
