Set to Custom (S) mode for warm analog slap/space
The Champion 40 is set to its clean channel with gain low to act as an uncolored pedal platform for the Big Muff. Because the Champion 40 lacks a physical mid knob and presence control, those values are omitted, and treble is kept at 6 to tame solid-state high-end fizz while retaining string definition. The Big Muff provides the thick, sustaining fuzz body while the analog DM-2W recreates the warm tape delay space on the record.
