Used as a clean boost/tightener BEFORE the amp input — this is critical for Gojira's precision. Drive at zero, level pushing the amp's front end, tone brightening the signal to cut mud. This mimics the Maxon OD808 in the original rig.
The Mustang LT25's Metal 2000 model is the closest approximation to a Rectifier's Modern channel. Your Les Paul's passive humbuckers have lower output and warmer voicing than Duplantier's active EMGs, so gain is set at 7 instead of the 5-6 he'd use — the Tube Screamer at zero drive compensates by tightening the low end and adding presence. Mids scooped to 3 replicates the Rectifier's characteristic scoop, but your Les Paul's inherent midrange warmth means you won't lose definition like a brighter guitar would.
