01Klon Centaur model (Clon Chiron)
In front of amp model as transparent mid-push and primary drive
02Digital Delay model
Post-amp/FX loop; set delay tempo division to dotted-eighth note (3/16) synced to song BPM (138 BPM)
03Ambient Hall Reverb model
Post-amp/FX loop; wide stereo space without washing out the rhythmic delay repeats
The original cut features lower-output single-coil chime (Tele/Gretsch style), so on your Les Paul Modern humbuckers, amp gain is set conservatively to 4 and the Klon model gain to 3 to prevent thick saturation. Treble and Cut/Presence are pushed to 6-7 to restore the crisp top-end bite characteristic of modern worship lead lines. If your Les Paul Modern has coil-split push-pull pots engaged on the bridge pickup, leave amp settings as-is for an even closer tonal match.
