01Nux MFX-10 Chorus Block (Analog Chorus type recommended)
Enable in FX chain after amp block; this is the dominant stereo-width effect on the recording
02Nux MFX-10 Delay Block (Digital Delay type)
Subtle ambience; optional but adds depth to the original's spaciousness
The Randall RG-100ES is a bright, clean solid-state amp; the Nux MFX-10's JC Clean model shares that glassy, uncolored platform. Bass +0.5 vs original (Aria Excel humbuckers are warmer than Dimebag's Bill Lawrence pickups), treble stays at 7 to preserve the shimmer without harshness. Chorus depth raised to 6 (vs typical 4-5) because the recording has pronounced stereo width—this is the signature element of the tone.
