The original recording relies on boutique British Class-A chime (Matchless/Tyler) paired with heavy pulse tremolo and chorus modulation. On the Zoom G1 Four, the UK 30A amp model delivers the necessary chime and upper-mid cut while onboard modulation and delay blocks recreate the complex studio signal chain. The Yamaha Pacifica/Champion in position 2 (bridge+middle) balances single-coil clarity with body for the rhythmic hook.
