01Overdrive / Boost Block (TS-Style)
Tightens low-end flub and emulates Dime's front-end Furman PQ-3 pre-distortion mid push
02Noise Gate Block
Essential for clamping high-gain hiss between phrases
03Delay Block (Digital Delay)
FX loop post-amp position; set to roughly 450ms for the solo's spacious trail
04Reverb Block (Hall Reverb)
FX loop post-delay; creates the deep studio atmosphere
The Sonicake Pocket Master digital high-gain model covers Dime's aggressive saturation, but requires mid-scooping on the amp block (set to 3) compensated by a front-end overdrive boost with Drive at 0 to mimic the Furman PQ-3 pushing the input. The LTD M-1000's high-output bridge pickup provides the necessary bite and harmonic sensitivity for his wide vibrato and pinched squeals. Intro clean tone: bypass the overdrive and switch to the Clean amp block with Delay/Reverb active.
