Steps

Action	Target	Why
`set_scene`	scene 1	the intro scene
`set_channel`	amp, value=1	a dedicated crunch channel keeps the clean channel untouched
`set_type`	amp, type_name=Brit 800 2204 High	the JCM800: definitive good-crunch-not-metal rock rhythm
`set_param`	amp, param=DISTORT_DRIVE, value=5.5	crunch with hair, still not metal; tune to taste
`set_bypass`	drive	intro is bone dry
`set_bypass`	delay	intro is bone dry
`set_bypass`	reverb	intro is bone dry
`set_bypass`	comp	intro is bone dry
`rename_scene`	type_name=INTRO Crunch, value=1	scenes carry song-section names
`set_scene`	scene 2	the produced body starts here
`set_bypass`	delay	artist spec: minimal delay through the song body
`set_bypass`	reverb	artist spec: small room, very minimal
`set_type`	reverb, type_name=Small Room	artist: a room, just very minimal - not a hall
`set_param`	reverb, param=REVERB_MIX, value=10.0	felt more than heard

Sources

E Edwards (Elevation Rhythm), official Goodbye Yesterday tutorial: one heavy overdrive played softly through the whole song, a very small room reverb, a minimal couple-repeats delay throughout, a wide stereo delay only from the Refrain
Owner variation (monzta1): open the song on a dry Marshall-style crunch scene, no effects at all, then drop into the produced sound from scene 2

Assumes

an 8-scene preset with amp (multi-channel), drive, delay and reverb blocks; scene 1 = intro, scene 2+ = song body

Ear checklist

scene 1: pure dry crunch, rocks on its own with no effects
scene 2: soft picking sings through the drive, never chokes
the room reverb is felt, not heard
levels match between scene 1 and scene 2
