01Chorus (RECOMMENDED — not currently owned)
RECOMMENDED — not owned. A Boss CE-2 clone or TC Electronic Corona would get the shimmering Madchester sound. Essential for this tone.
02Tube Screamer style OD (RECOMMENDED — not currently owned)
RECOMMENDED — not owned. Used sparingly for edge-of-breakup during chorus sections. A Joyo Vintage OD or Behringer TO800 are budget options.
The Fly 3 is a tiny practice amp with limited headroom and no onboard effects. Set ISF fully CCW to approximate the Fender Twin's scooped American voicing. Gain at 3 gives slight edge without full breakup—Squire's tone is mostly clean with occasional grit. Without chorus, you will miss 40% of this tone's character; it's non-negotiable for authentic Roses shimmer.
