I was so desperate to warm up to the electric that I upgraded the Fender Blues Jr with different tube, reverb and speaker. Still no love. Whenever I play the Les Paul, which isn't often, I play it clean through my mixer.
How about the LP straight into the BJ? Get that sounding 'right' first. If that doesn't work after some serious effort, maybe electric isn't for you. Or maybe you need a Tele. If things aren't working, those particular pedals aren't likely to help (IMO).
