01OD/DS block (MUFF FUZZ model)
Primary gain source; emulates the 1970s Ram's Head Big Muff
02FX1/MOD block (FLANGER model)
Emulates Gilmour's Electric Mistress flanger/chorus shimmer
03DELAY block (STANDARD tape/analog style)
Set delay time to ~440ms (dotted eighth/quarter pulse)
The CLEAN TWIN preamp block provides the high-headroom, uncolored platform of Gilmour's Hiwatt DR103, keeping preamp gain at 2 so the onboard MUFF FUZZ model generates all the saturation without muddiness. Because the Dean Zelinsky LaVoce has humbuckers rather than Gilmour's Strat single-coils, treble is trimmed to 5 and the guitar tone is at 8 to prevent harsh high-end bite while keeping the low-mid sustain thick and vocal. (For the fingerpicked acoustic intro, bypass the MUFF, Flanger, and Delay blocks and switch to the guitar's neck pickup or coil-split mode).
