I like Andy Alford's tuning. G on top. I get about everything I want with it. It is permanent on my top neck . The bottom neck I experiment with. Never been satisfied with any tuning but C 6th.

I use a High gain peddle but sparingly. Inever pump it but sometimes will backit off and sweel into a note or chord for an organ effect
