Neil Zaza achieves his signature liquid sustain by combining compressed high-gain boutique amp saturation with a tight TS-style push and studio delay. On your NUX MG-300, the SLO 100 or high-gain block driven by a low-gain Tube Screamer perfectly replicates the fluid pick attack without turning mushy. The ceramic humbuckers on your Cort X100 have plenty of output, so rolling the guitar tone to 9 rounds off any harsh top-end fizz.
