01Boss BD-2 Blues Driver
Owned dirt pedal acts as primary fuzz/crunch source (double-gain prevention applied to amp)
02Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; essential for authentic germanium/silicon dynamic cleanup
03Vox V846 Wah
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; used for signature filter sweeps during solos
The Mason Dixon Da 10W amp is an unrecognized small practice unit, so unverifiable controls like midrange and presence are nulled while the amp gain is kept low at 3 to let your BD-2 act as the primary distortion source. To compensate for the Les Paul's warm humbuckers versus Jimi's Stratocaster, the amp treble is lifted to 7 and the pedal tone is dialed back to 4 to tame harshness. For the clean, chimey intro passages, roll your guitar volume knob down to 5-6 rather than switching pedal settings.
