RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; adds the authentic wireless preamp compression and front-end punch
The Orange Dirty channel naturally has thick, dark low-mids, so Bass is dropped to 4 and Mids are set to 7 to capture the Marshall Plexi bite. Because a Strat bridge single-coil is significantly brighter and thinner than Angus's SG humbucker, amp Treble is lowered to 5 and the guitar tone knob is pulled back to 8 to avoid ice-pick highs. The Rocker 15 has no presence or reverb controls on its faceplate, so both are omitted.
