The Orange Crush 35RT has a thick, lower-mid emphasis compared to a bright, snappy Marshall 2203 JCM/JMP master volume. Bass is trimmed to 4 to prevent loose low-end mud, while mids and treble are elevated to capture the classic Marshall upper-mid cut. Angus rolled his guitar tone back slightly (around 7-8) to tame harsh top-end when driving the amp hard, which pairs naturally with the Fusion-III bridge humbucker.
