01Morning Drive (Transparent OD block)
Used for subtle touch-sensitive grit and top-end chime
02Chorus (CE-2 style block)
Provides the iconic shimmering modulation across the intro chords
03Digital Delay block
Set to dotted-eighth tempo sync to fill out rhythmic arpeggios
04Hall Reverb block
Lush modern worship ambient decay
The Cort X100 features ceramic humbuckers with higher output and darker midrange than the original single-coil Strat/Tele tone. Rolling the guitar volume back to 8 and splitting with the in-between position simulates single-coil sparkle, while pushing the Deluxe Reverb model treble to 7 compensates for the Cort pickups. Keep the Morning Drive gain low at 3 to preserve clean chime while retaining dynamic breakup.
