01Tank G Overdrive Block (DOD 250 / TS Style Boost)
In front of amp model to tighten low-end and add neoclassical sustain
02Tank G Delay Block (Analog/Digital Delay)
Set to subtle quarter note / slap (~280ms) for space and thickness
03Tank G Reverb Block (Hall Reverb)
Replicates the 1984 studio plate/hall reverb ambience
The SG Modern's humbuckers provide hotter output and thicker midrange than Yngwie's low-output single coils, so tone is set to 8 on the neck pickup and bass is reduced to 4 to avoid muddiness. The Tank G's Overdrive block is run as a mid-focused boost into the UK 800 amp model to push preamp saturation without flubbing the low end. This combination captures the fluid, violin-like articulation of the 1984 studio recording on a dual-humbucker instrument.
