01Compressor Block (GT-1 Comp/FX1)
Essential for that even, percussive studio clean attack
02Stereo Chorus Block (GT-1 Chorus)
Replicates the classic rack-style stereo detune modulation
03Plate Reverb Block (GT-1 Reverb)
Spacious studio plate ambiance
The original clean track was cut on a vintage Strat into a crystal-clean solid-state platform with studio compression and rack chorus. Since your Jackson JS22 has higher-output humbuckers, use the middle pickup selector position (both humbuckers) and roll guitar volume down to 8 to avoid pushing the JC-120 model into breakup. A slight mid cut and elevated treble on the GT-1 compensates for the humbucker warmth to achieve that signature glassy 1980s sheen.
