Why these settings

The Orange Crush 35RT has no presence knob and naturally emphasizes thick low-mids, so the amp bass is pulled back while the Joyo British Sound provides the Marshall-style upper-mid cut. Per the double-gain rule, the amp is kept on the clean channel with low gain so the RAT2 acts as the primary distortion source. For the clean intro sections, simply bypass the RAT2 while leaving the modulation delay and reverb active.

PRO TIPDig in hard with a stiff pick during the heavy tremolo-picked walls of sound, and place both time-based pedals in the Crush 35RT's FX loop to prevent the high gain from turning your reverb and delay into mud.
