01Ibanez Tube Screamer TS808
Used as classic metal boost in front of the amp to cut sub-bass flub and sharpen transient attack
The Orange Crush 20 has thick low-mids and lacks the sheer aggression of a Peavey 5150, so the TS808 is set with Drive at 0 and Level pushed high to tighten the front end. Keeping bass at 5 prevents the 8-inch speaker from farting out on low-tuned palm mutes, while bumping mids to 6 and treble to 7 injects European deathgrind bite into Orange's naturally warm voicing. Presence and reverb are physically absent on the Crush 20 faceplate and set to null.
