The Marshall DSL40CR Classic Gain channel delivers the warm headroom needed for Paras Thakur's arpeggiated intro lines, set to gain 4 for subtle edge-of-breakup when digging in. Mids are boosted slightly to 6 while treble and presence are capped at 5 and 4 to soften the DSL's naturally bright top end with your Stratocaster single coils. The built-in digital reverb is dialed to 7 to supply ambient space until an external analog delay pedal is added to the FX loop.
