The FD DLX-R amp model in the Zoom G3Xn provides the required clean headroom and glassy Fender top end. Because Telecaster bridge pickups can be sharp, the middle+neck/both-pickups position or a slight roll on the tone knob prevents harshness while maintaining chime. Amp gain is kept low at 3 to let the RC Boost and SweetDrive blocks handle edge-of-breakup dynamics cleanly.
