==== 🧪 2. Blending Example: Twin Reverb + Clapton EQ ====

===== 🎯 Goal: Bright, clean foundation from a Twin Reverb → add woman tone / vocal midrange like Clapton =====

===== 🛠️ AMP SETTINGS (GM40 - Clean Channel) =====

Start with a Twin-ish baseline:
* Gain: 2–3 (very clean headroom)
* Bass: 5
* Mid: 4 (scooped)
* Treble: 6.5–7 (bright sparkle)
* Presence: 6
* Reverb: 3–5 (Twin reverb has lush onboard verb)

This gets you that classic blackface-style scooped clean tone with sparkle and depth.

===== 🎚️ EQ PEDAL SETTINGS (MXR 10-Band – Clapton Inspired) =====

| Band     | Setting | What It Does                           |
| -------- | ------- | -------------------------------------- |
| 31.25 Hz | 0       | No need to adjust deep sub-bass        |
| 62.5 Hz  | +1      | Adds subtle low-end weight             |
| 125 Hz   | +2      | Fatness/body for warmth                |
| 250 Hz   | 0       | Keeps lower mids clear                 |
| 500 Hz   | -1      | Reduces boxy mids                      |
| 1k Hz    | -2      | Smooths the nasal frequency            |
| 2k Hz    | +1      | Adds pick bite and presence            |
| 4k Hz    | +2      | More sparkle for leads or articulation |
| 8k Hz    | 0       | Leaves highs alone for clarity         |
| 16k Hz   | -1      | Slightly tames icepick highs           |

💡 Result: You retain the Twin’s shimmering clean, but add girthy mid-presence and smooth high-end clarity, mimicking how Clapton pushed his amps for blues leads.
