02JHS Series 3 Fuzz
Primary gain source. Run into the clean Deluxe Reverb.
The JHS Series 3 Fuzz serves as your primary gain source, so the Fender Deluxe Reverb is kept clean with volume at 2 to avoid muddy double-gain stacking. Because the Deluxe Reverb and a bridge Telecaster are inherently brighter than Stockdale's Gibson SG into British amps, the amp treble is cut down to 4 and guitar tone rolled back to 7 to smooth out harsh top-end bite. Intro: engage the Phase 90 before the fuzz, then kick the phaser off when the full band drops into the heavy main riff.
