01Compressor Block (Mooer GE300)
Placed first in chain for spanky, percussive attack
02Spring Reverb Block (Mooer GE300)
Placed after amp/cab block for subtle surf ambiance
The original cut relies heavily on a bright, percussive Strat attack sped up on tape, which enhances treble and tightens the bass. On the GE300, keep the amp block at edge-of-breakup with bass rolled back to 4 and mids pushed to 6 to emulate that snappy, fast-tracked response without getting muddy. Position 2 (bridge+middle) on your Strat captures the signature hollow quack heard across the main rhythm.
