RAT provides the fuzzy grit — Filter at 6 rolls off harsh highs for that warm Spanish shoegaze texture. Keep Distortion moderate; the song has definition, not wall-of-fuzz

Why these settings

Original tone came from Fender/Vox cleans pushed by dirt pedals with atmospheric production. Your Orange Crush 20 is naturally warmer and more compressed than those amps, so I set amp gain at 4 (not higher) to leave headroom for the RAT to define the grit character. Mid at 6 compensates for the Crush's inherent low-mid thickness. Your PRS humbuckers are hotter than the original's single coils, so neck pickup with tone rolled to 6 prevents excess brightness.

PRO TIPFor the atmospheric feedback swells in the verses, face your amp at moderate volume and let notes sustain into controlled feedback — the PRS's 24 frets give you extra harmonic nodes for this. Roll volume knob to 7 for cleaner verse sections, then back to 10 for the chorus punch.
