The Fender Blues Junior IV is an American-voiced clean/blues platform that cannot reach modern pop-punk saturation on its own, so your owned DS-1 is set as the primary gain source while the amp gain stays down at 2 with FAT boost off to avoid double-gain muddiness. Mids on the amp are pushed to 7 with treble pulled back to 5 to tame Fender high-end sparkle and emulate the thicker Marshall/Mesa wall of sound. Verse clean: step on the DS-1 to bypass it and use the Blues Jr's clean chime.
