The lady gaga guitar tone for “judas”, dialed in for a Fender Blues Junior IV with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio album cut, Born This Way (2011) / Live rock arrangement
Gibson Les Paul Custom into Marshall JCM2000 / Mesa Dual Rectifier with aggressive high-gain distortion

| Reverb | 1 |
| Master | 4 |
The Blues Junior IV cannot natively produce modern high-gain industrial saturation, so engage the 'FAT' boost and push preamp Volume (gain) high to squeeze maximum crunch from the amp. Dial Bass down to 4 to prevent low-end flub on the EL84s and push Middle to 7 to compensate for your Strat's single-coil scoop. A dedicated distortion pedal like a ProCo Rat is strongly recommended to get the tight, synth-like industrial grit of the track.
