RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for this tone. The Rat is Scott Lucas's core dirt sound. Amp stays clean; pedal provides all gain.

02Boss OC-2 or similar octave pedal

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Local H uses octave-down to fill bass frequencies as a two-piece. Engage for verses/heavy sections, bypass for leads.

Why these settings

The Twin Reverb cannot produce high-gain distortion from its preamp—it's a clean platform amp. Set it near-clean with gain at 3 and let a Rat-style pedal handle all saturation. Boosted bass and mids compensate for the Jaguar's brighter single coils versus Lucas's Les Paul humbuckers. The bright switch stays off to avoid ice-pick highs.

PRO TIPScott Lucas runs an octave pedal to cover bass frequencies since Local H has no bassist—blend the octave-down subtly so it thickens the low-end without sounding like a synth. Pick hard near the bridge for that aggressive attack.
