RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; with this pedal, disengage the amp's FAT boost and set amp Volume (gain) to 3 on clean
The Fender Blues Junior IV cannot natively reach Stephen Carpenter's rack Marshall high-gain saturation, so engaging the FAT boost and pushing Volume to 9 gets the maximum grit from the amp alone. Bass is kept at 7 to simulate drop-tuned body without flubbing the small speaker, while mids are slightly pulled to approximate the aggressive 90s alt-metal scoop. To truly capture this heavy tone, add a dedicated high-gain distortion pedal in front of the clean amp.
