01Zoom G1on (TS Drive Block)
TS Drive model used as a clean boost to tighten low-end
02Zoom G1on (DZ DRIVE / Marshall Amp Block)
Primary high-gain preamp model running directly into the SLA-25RG clean channel
03Zoom G1on (ZNR Noise Gate)
Essential for clamping extreme high-gain palm-mute chugs
The Strauss SLA-25RG is a compact solid-state combo, so all heavy distortion and amp modeling are handled via the Zoom G1on using a boosted high-gain model into the amp's clean channel. Amp gain is kept low at 2 to avoid muddy double-gain saturation. The G1on's onboard TS drive tightens the severe low-end needed for Nile's Drop A tuning before hitting the high-gain preamp stage. Clean acoustic/folk intro: switch off the drive/amp block and engage a clean acoustic sim patch.
