01Tube Screamer (TS9/D1)
Using TS as primary dirt source to approximate Big Muff saturation — run drive high, tone rolled back for warmth
02EHX Big Muff (Russian variant)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. This is the actual dirt source on the recording. Your TS gets close but lacks the woolly low-end sag
03Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble
Title Fight used chorus as always-on thickening effect — subtle settings, not swooshy
Your DSL20HR is voiced similarly to the JCM800 but has more gain on tap — amp gain dropped to 3 because the TS is doing the heavy lifting as your dirt source (the original used a Big Muff). Your Jackson's hotter ceramic humbuckers push harder than the Les Paul's PAF-style pickups, so treble cut by 1 and tone knob rolled to 7 to compensate for the brighter, tighter voicing.
