Origin Synth-Rock Surge — Standard-Tuned Fuzz Chords

The recorded arrangement is driven primarily by its synthesizer arpeggio, with standard-tuned guitar adding broad distorted chords and accents. No reliable song-specific studio control sheet survives, so this preset approximates the Origin-era Manson, Fuzz Factory and Marshall setup while keeping the guitar behind the synth.

Notes

Do not overfill the arrangement. Use sustained, upper-mid-heavy chords and leave the repeating arpeggio to the synthesizer.

See the same signal chain mapped to another platform. Knob values carry over as starting points — gain ranges differ between platforms.
