The Orange Crush 20 is naturally dark and mid-heavy, so keeping Clean channel gain at 3 maintains the warm studio clean without solid-state harshness. The faceplate features Gain, Dirty Gain, Treble, Middle, Bass, and Dirty Volume (no presence or built-in reverb, so both are omitted). Rolling your guitar tone back to 7 and using the split-coil inner position softens the humbucker attack to emulate the soft direct-tracked Strat character of the recording. An external analog chorus pedal will provide the signature wobbling modulation once added.
