Straight into the amp.
I dropped my plectrum at the beginning and someone in the audience run up and gave me theirs.
I later bent down & retrieved my plectrum.
It's amazing how the tone changes when I get my own plectrum back
No pedals ...
FWIW, You may find by permanently losing the plectrum will eliminate the need to bend down and pick it up, it also can improve your tone. I stopped using a pick years ago and glad I did. ymmv.
Yes, I do play without a pick, depends on the songs or where I am in the solo. Start with fingers & change to pick at the end during slow blues slow etc.
Living in Camp San Diego, I've only heard one Fuchs live. With my own Dumbling experiences, I was surprised at how good a strat amp it was. That's not a real high gain tone on the video. What's your setting? OD or clean w/w/out boost? (Hazarding a guess, it sounds like straight clean to me.)

Hi,
Yes, not the RF tone but a fairly clean fat tone.
I was using straight for chops, o/d for solo with eq bypass.
Controls were probably about G=4 T=5 M=5 B=5 o/d in = 4 o/d out =4 V =4 P = 5 R = 3
Check out Dr Ika at 4:20 on this vid to hear more RF tones using the Deep switch and humbucking p/ups.
