How to get the Stairway to Heaven tone (Led Zeppelin) on a BOSS GT-1 (GT1)

The solo was cut on a Telecaster through a small amp turned way up: medium drive, biting treble and sustain without mud.

The chain on the GT-1

01 · FXGuitar Sim
H→S, before the preamp, to get single coil bite from a humbucker. Go easy or it gets thin.
02 · OD/DSTreble Boost
Low drive, level up, just pushing the amp for sustain.
03 · PreampTweed
Moderate gain; a small amp breaking up, not a stack.
04 · ReverbPlate
Low mix; the recorded solo is fairly dry.

A starting point with no numbers: the GT-1 blocks and types, and which way to turn. Adjust by ear.

·
Bridge pickup and a firm pick; a lot of the bite is in the attack.
·
If you run the GT-1 into the amp's FX return, set the pedal's output for that; left on line it tends to sound muddy.
