Michael Landau's signature solo tone on this track relies on a warm, compressed British/boutique crunch pushed by a Tube Screamer. On your GT-1000, the X-CRUNCH AIRD preamp provides the dynamic core, while the internal T-SCREAM and Compressor blocks provide the rich sustain and upper-mid vocal focus. Rolling the Ultra Strat's bridge tone down to 8 rounds off single-coil glassiness to match Landau's fattened bridge lead timbre.
