01Heavy Metal
Acts as preamp boost into clean channel—provides the Mesa Rectifier-style saturation the Blackstar OD2 alone won't deliver. Run into amp input, not FX loop.
Blackstar's ISF voicing at 12 o'clock bridges American/British—set it to 10 o'clock (more American/scooped) to mimic the Rectifier's character. Original Mesa has deeper mid-scoop and thicker low-end than Blackstar's OD2; the Heavy Metal pedal compensates by adding preamp saturation and bass heft. Your Epiphone Coronet's mini-humbuckers are lower-output than Jones' Les Paul Custom—gain +1 on pedal offsets this. Mid at 3 keeps the scoop while preserving palm-mute clarity.
