01Onboard FX: Tape Delay
Select Delay / Tap tempo to roughly 118 BPM (dotted 8th or quarter note repeats)
The Fender Champion II 25 lacks a physical mid knob, so presence and clarity must be shaped using the treble control and the British amp voice to emulate the chime of the original tube combo. The Ibanez RG421 has hotter passive humbuckers than the single coils on the record, so position 2 (inner coils parallel / split) and rolling the guitar volume back to 8 are necessary to capture that articulate, airy edge-of-breakup snap. The onboard tape delay handles the ambient space without needing an external pedal.
