RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. A Boss CE-5 or TC Electronic Corona gets you the shimmery verse texture. Essential for this tone.
The Orange Crush 20 is warmer and less scooped than the ADA MP-1's clean channel, so mid stays high at 7 to preserve the cut-through presence. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than Carpenter's JB humbuckers — treble dropped to 5 and tone knob rolled to 6 to compensate for the extra sparkle. Gain at 3 adds slight hair without breaking into crunch.
