01Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi
This is your gain source. Amp must stay clean. Original used Ram's Head version with Tone at 6, Sustain at 6, Volume at 4 — adjusted Volume up because Les Paul humbuckers are hotter than Gilmour's FS-1 Strat pickup.
Gilmour's Hiwatt ran near-clean with massive headroom; your Blues Junior breaks up earlier and has a scooped Fender voicing. Dropped gain to 2 (amp stays clean — Big Muff is the saturation source). Pushed mid +1 vs original Hiwatt settings to compensate for Fender's mid-scoop. Your Les Paul's humbuckers are warmer and hotter than his Strat's FS-1, so use neck pickup with tone rolled to 7 to approximate his bridge+neck Strat blend and avoid mud.
