01Zoom G1X Four: GoldDrive (Klon style boost)
Placed before MS 800 block to tighten the low end and add fluid sustain
02Zoom G1X Four: Delay (Digital Delay block)
Post-amp block set to around 380ms for spacious 90s lead ambiance
03Zoom G1X Four: Hall (Reverb block)
Provides studio room depth
The original studio cut relied on single-coil bite hitting a saturated high-gain British stack. Because the Ibanez IBZ-6 ceramic humbuckers have a thicker midrange and hotter output, mid is pulled back slightly to 7 and the GoldDrive gain is kept at 2 to avoid muddy saturation. The Zoom G1X Four MS 800 model provides the core crunch while the post-amp delay delivers the signature 90s Assamese pop-rock vocal sustain.
