Fender Telecaster into Fender-style amp (likely Deluxe Reverb or Twin), Boss SD-1 or similar overdrive for grit, minimal effects — Joe Goldsmith's rig emphasizes jangly British indie-rock tones with Telecaster bite

01Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive
Light drive for edge and punch — amp stays relatively clean, SD-1 adds grit on pick attack
The Mustang LT25's Deluxe Reverb model matches the original Fender-into-Fender platform. Amp gain stays modest (4) because your SD-1 provides the crunch layer — this prevents mud from double-staging. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for the Fender's natural scoop and delivers the angular midrange Lovejoy's riffs need. Treble at 7 captures Telecaster jangle without ice-pick harshness.
