| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 6 |
Orange Crush 20 has no mid control and runs hotter than the Matchless clean platform used on the recording. Gain is kept low at 3 to preserve shimmer and prevent breaking up. The neck humbucker on your AZ2402 with tone rolled to 8 approximates the ES-325's warm semi-hollow voice. Studio reverb was added in post, so your dry signal is correct for tracking.
