01Boss CE-2 Chorus (or any analog chorus)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for the shimmering ballad texture. Any basic analog chorus pedal will work.
Lee Jackson practice amps are unrecognized solid-state units with limited gain and no verified control layout — values given for universal knobs only, presence/reverb set null. Your Fender Player Strat has standard single coils versus the original's hot DiMarzio Super Distortion humbucker, so mid pushed +1 and gain +0.5 to compensate for lower output and thinner voicing. The warm ballad tone relies heavily on the chorus effect which you lack.
