01Morning Drive (Bluesbreaker block)
Used as the primary overdrive block in front of the Twin Reverb amp model
02Studio Comp
Provides smooth sustain and dynamic leveling
03Spring Reverb
Simulates the vintage Fender amp spring tank
The NUX MG-300's Twin Reverb model provides the authentic Fender clean-to-edge headroom, while the onboard Morning Drive block delivers the smooth cranked tube breakup heard on the album cut. Because the Cort X100 humbuckers are relatively modern and bright, rolling the guitar's tone knob down to 7 warms up the top end to match Harrison's vintage PAF neck pickup. Single version note: switch to bridge pickup and engage a rotary/Leslie modulation block.
