Prince got his iconic crying sustain by running Boss dirt into a cascading Mesa Mark II lead channel, creating an extremely saturated, mid-heavy vocal response. Because the Enya Inspire Pro AL uses digital modeling through onboard DSP and a built-in speaker, push the internal midrange and onboard distortion block high to recreate that thick Mark-series core. Roll the guitar tone control slightly down to 8 to shave off harsh solid-state highs while keeping the Telecaster-style bite.
