01Flamma FX100 — Digital Delay block
Moderate delay for spacious lead tone; 300-400ms range, few repeats
The Flamma FX100's Marshall/Crunch model approximates the JCM800's mid-forward voice. Gain at 5 delivers the singing sustain without modern saturation — the original is a warm, controlled crunch, not high-gain. Your Epiphone's humbuckers match the original's fat midrange; neck pickup with tone rolled to 7 softens the highs for that smooth ballad lead character.
