01Tube Screamer (TS9)
Used as a boost/tightener into the dirty amp — replicates the DOD 250's role of pushing the Marshall's front end and adding midrange focus
Your JCM800 2203 is the direct descendant of Yngwie's 50w Super Leads — this is a near-perfect amp match. The Jem Jr's humbuckers are hotter than Yngwie's single-coil FS-1s, so gain is dropped from where a strat would need it (8→6) and treble backed off slightly to avoid ice-pick highs. The TS9 mimics the DOD 250's role as a midrange-focused clean boost into the amp's preamp.
