01Chorus (Valeton CH-2 / CE-2 model block)
Essential for Cerati's signature swirling, shimmering texture
02Analog Delay (Valeton Memory / Echo block)
Set around 380ms for subtle ambient rhythmic repeats
The Yamaha Pacifica's neck and middle single-coil position perfectly recreates Cerati's glassy Stratocaster chime. On the Valeton GP-200, the TWIN 65 amp model provides pristine headroom, while pushing the midrange to 6 prevents the clean tone from sounding overly hollow when layered with the heavy chorus. The Boss-style chorus and analog delay blocks inside the GP-200 replicate the core front-end modulation of his live pedalboard. Heavy chorus outro: roll the volume knob down slightly to clean up articulation during arpeggios.
