RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. The Origin 50C is a plexi-style amp that cannot reach Dual Rectifier saturation levels on its own. A distortion pedal is essential for this tone.

Why these settings

The Origin 50C is a clean-to-crunch plexi-voiced amp — it cannot replicate the cascaded high-gain of a Dual Rectifier without an external distortion pedal. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than Pete Loeffler's PRS humbuckers, so I've boosted bass +1 and kept treble from getting ice-picky. The Boost switch adds necessary gain staging but still falls short of modern metal saturation — the recommended DS-1 or similar pedal closes that gap. Keep the amp's gain high to add tube warmth behind the pedal's clipping.

PRO TIPRoll your Strat's tone knob to 7 and use the bridge pickup to fatten up the single-coil quack — this mimics humbucker darkness without losing pick attack. Palm-mute tightly on the low strings; Chevelle's chug comes from precise right-hand control, not just gain.
