01Electro-Harmonix Big Muff
Primary gain source; run direct into clean amp input
02Digital Delay
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; run in FX loop for 440ms dotted-eighth space
Because your Big Muff is the sole gain source, the Mini Jubilee is set to its Clean channel with low Input Gain (3) to prevent harsh double-distortion. The original Hiwatt DR103 is a massive, clean, mid-forward platform; to replicate this through your Les Paul's darker humbuckers, amp midrange is boosted to 7 while the Muff tone is kept at 4 to tame high-end fizz. If you add the recommended delay pedal later, run it through the Jubilee's FX loop to preserve echo clarity behind the fuzz.
