01TC Electronic Zeus Drive
Main overdrive; provides the dynamic, touch-sensitive breakup into the clean platform

03TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2
Set to Hall mode for the lush, spacious studio reverb trail
The Blackstar Silverline is set to Clean Warm with a 6L6 valve response and ISF dialed fully counter-clockwise to emulate the headroom and American chime of Sam Fender's '65 Twin Reverb. Amp gain is kept low at 2 to run the TC Zeus as the primary medium-gain drive without unwanted digital pre-amp muddiness. A Fender Jaguar has a shorter scale and slightly sharper transient spike than a Jazzmaster, so rolling the guitar tone to 8 and keeping the amp treble at 5 tames high-end piercing while retaining the percussive attack.
