Eb tuning (down half step). The chorus guitar is layered heavily — track multiple times slightly detuned.

See the same signal chain mapped to another platform. Knob values carry over as starting points — gain ranges differ between platforms. NAM/TONEX users: the real gear names are what to search for as captures.
