01Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer
Used as front-end preamp saturation to push the amp model into extreme doom compression
02Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; select Fuzz I or Gain Boost mode for the authentic Dopethrone fuzz wall
The VT40+ doesn't have an FZ-2 built in, so we stack your TS9 into the US HIGAIN amp model with pushed gain and bass to emulate the huge low-end saturation. The Jackson JS32 humbuckers provide ample output, but rolling the guitar tone back to 7 on the neck pickup captures the dark, woolly thickness of Jus Oborn's Les Paul. If you acquire a dedicated FZ-2 clone, switch the VT40+ to a clean model with low gain and let the fuzz box do the heavy lifting.
