RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. The Crush 12's gain stage tops out before reaching Plexi-at-full-tilt saturation; a medium-gain overdrive in front fills the gap. Set the amp's Dirty channel to gain 4–5 when using this pedal to avoid mud.

Why these settings

The Orange Crush 12 is warmer and more compressed than a Plexi, with no mid or presence knobs. Treble 6 replaces both Marshall treble and presence duties. Bass stays moderate (6) because Orange voicing already has thick low-mids; going higher gets boomy through the 6" speaker. Gain 8 on the Dirty channel alone gets close to classic-rock crunch but lacks the singing sustain of a dimed Plexi — the recommended SD-1 style pedal bridges that gap.

PRO TIPAce Frehley dug into the strings hard with a heavy pick near the bridge for that percussive attack on the main riff — let your picking dynamics do the work rather than maxing gain, and you'll get the note separation that makes this riff punch.
