Why these settings

The Orange Crush has naturally thick, warm lower-mids compared to a bright Marshall JCM800, so pull the Mid control down to 4 and push Treble to 7 to match that cutting 80s hair-metal bite. Keep Bass at 5 to prevent the Crush's 10-inch speaker from getting tubby under the high gain. The Crush 35RT lacks a physical Presence control, so upper-end sizzle is achieved via the Treble knob.

PRO TIPDig in hard with a sharp, heavy pick near the bridge saddles to accentuate the aggressive percussive attack and harmonic bite characteristic of Vinnie Vincent's riffing.
