01Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion
(run direct into amp input) - Turbo Mode I
The Laney LX35R is kept on its Clean channel at low gain so the Boss DS-2 acts as the primary crunch engine without muddying the signal. Turbo Mode I on the DS-2 is dialed with low distortion (4) to replicate the tight, punchy breakup of Billie Joe's modded Marshall Super Leads rather than a modern high-gain fuzz. The Laney LX35R lacks a presence control, so treble is set to 6 and mids to 7 to deliver the cutting upper-mid bite of a P-90 into British power tubes.
