01Valeton Compressor Block (Comp)
Even out picking attack and provide 80s studio squish
02Valeton Chorus Block (Dimension/Stereo Chorus)
Emulates the Roland Dimension D spatial modulation
03Valeton Delay Block (Analog / Digital Delay)
Subtle rhythmic slap to add stereo space
04Valeton Reverb Block (Hall Reverb)
Emulates the lush Lexicon 224 studio hall
To replicate the thick, pristine clean track on single-coil pickups, the neck+middle position combines with an onboard compressor to tame high-end spike and mimic humbucker body. Gain is kept low on a pristine US Clean model block to ensure zero breakup while the chorus and hall reverb provide the iconic 1987 width. For the heavy chorus sections, switch amp block to a modded UK 800 high-gain model with chorus bypassed.
