01Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9
Used as a tight boost in front of the Dirty channel to focus the Telecaster's low-end and push the Orange into punk crunch
02Boss DD-7 Digital Delay
Bypassed for rhythm riffing (can be engaged with subtle slapback for lead fills if desired)
The Orange Crush 20 naturally has thick low-mids and no presence or reverb controls on its faceplate, so mid is pushed to 7 while bass is kept at 5 to prevent boxiness through the 8-inch speaker. To compensate for the Squier Telecaster's single-coil brightness and lower output compared to a Les Paul humbucker, the TS9 acts as a classic front-end tightener (Drive low, Level high) into the amp's Dirty channel. Tone on the guitar is rolled back slightly to 8 to shave off harsh Telecaster ice-pick while maintaining punk bite.
