I own a twin reverb and a 50’s reissue les Paul. Any ideas on a simple gig rig set up? I’ve been using dual channel overdrives but I never seem to get the proper sounds, especially a good lead tone. I need something that cuts through pretty loud and rocking setting, something smooth but not too gainey. A good singing tone.

Have you tried a Klon (or Klone)... that is where I would start...

For leads that cut through the mix, try cranking the mid on your twin and keeping the bass down. Maybe try mid = 7 and bass = 3 and go from there. Your pedal will do the rest.
On my black face Super Reverb, I have the mids at 8 and bass at 2...and the volume locked in at 10! I also keep the bright switch up, but dial it in to your taste.
(I do not recommend putting your Twin’s volume at 10...that’s just nutty loud!)

Lot of really great stuff out there, but this is the next one in for me, it's basically the only thing on my list.

Ibanez Tube Screamer TS 9 for your leads , and the Fender Twin Cleans for your clean should get the job done .
