01Valeton GP-200: Compressor Block (Dyna Comp style)
Essential for the singing sustain — keeps notes blooming without squashing dynamics
02Valeton GP-200: Overdrive Block (Tube Screamer model as clean boost)
Substitute for Colorsound Power Boost — use as transparent boost, not distortion
03Valeton GP-200: Fuzz Block (Big Muff model) — for 3rd solo/sustained sections only
Engage only for the long sustained solo sections; bypass for intro bends and verse parts
04Valeton GP-200: Delay Block (Tape/Analog style)
Set delay time to ~380-440ms (dotted eighth feel); one clear repeat trailing into space
05Valeton GP-200: Reverb Block (Plate style)
Studio used EMT plate verb — keep subtle, it adds dimension not wash
The Hiwatt is scooped and glassy; the Mini Jubilee is mid-forward and warmer. I dropped bass from 5→4 and raised mids 5→6 to compensate for the Jubilee's natural Marshall bark. Your Les Paul humbuckers are hotter and darker than Gilmour's Strat singles — rolling tone to 7 and using bridge+middle (if your LP has coil-split, use it) opens up the high-end clarity this tone needs. Gain stays low because the sustain comes from compression and the Big Muff, not amp breakup.
