01GX-100 Overdrive Block (T-Scream)
Used to tighten the low-end attack into the Brit Stack amp block
02GX-100 Chorus Block (Prime Chorus / CE-2 mode)
Bypass for main heavy riff; engage for subtle widening on verse cleans/middle-eight
Ace tracked this iconic riff with his 1976 Les Paul Custom straight into a cranked Marshall JCM 900. On the GX-100, the BRIT STACK amp model captures that distinct gritty 900 upper-mid bite, paired with a Greenback speaker IR to soften high-end fizz. A clean boost block in front tightens the Les Paul's low-end chug while keeping the core gain coming from the amp model.
