01FX1/COMP (Boss GT-1 Compressor block)
Placed first to emulate the DI studio compression before the amp
02OD/DS (Booster block)
Mild push into the preamp imitating the Pete Cornish ST-2 treble/bass boost
03DELAY (Standard Digital Delay block)
Post-amp; set delay time to ~380ms with 3-4 subtle repeats
04REVERB (Hall Reverb block)
Simulates the spacious studio mixing desk plate/hall return
The original solo was tracked DI with heavy studio limiting before re-amping into a Mesa Mark I, getting sustain primarily from compression rather than runaway preamp gain. On the GT-1, the LEAD STK model captures that smooth Mark-series voice while the COMP block provides the characteristic endless decay without harsh fuzz. To match David's P-90 chime on your LaVoce, roll the neck pickup tone knob back slightly to 8 to shave modern humbucker top-end sizzle. For the funk rhythm part: switch to bridge pickup and turn off the OD/DS and DELAY blocks.
