01Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9
Used as a tight boost into the Orange dirty preamp to cut flub on Drop C#
02Boss DS-1 Distortion
Bypassed — the amp drive with the TS9 boost is much closer to Stephen Carpenter's tube rack sound
Stephen Carpenter got his core drive from an ADA MP-1 rack preamp into Marshall power amps, which relies on a tight mid push rather than fuzzy distortion. Use the Orange Crush 12's own high-gain circuit at gain 7 and run the TS9 as a clean boost (Drive 0, Level 9) to tighten the low end and mimic the punchy rack attack. Keep the Orange's bass at 5 to prevent the 6-inch speaker from farting out on low C# palm mutes, while boosting treble to 7 for articulate pick definition. For the quiet verses, roll the guitar volume down to 3-4.
