01Ultra Chorus
Key to the tone — Fitzpatrick ran CE-2W prominently. Moderate rate, deep wash
02Joyo Reverb
Room/spring style — not cavernous, just ambient space
The original used Jaguar humbuckers which are warmer than your Strat's single coils. Compensate by rolling tone to 7 and using neck+middle position for fuller body. Your Bassman has more headroom and low-end than the Deluxe Reverb — cut bass by 2 from what you'd expect and push mids slightly to capture that Deluxe midrange presence. Keep gain at 2 for pristine cleans; the Bassman stays clean easily.
