live forever amp settings — Orange Crush 20

The oasis guitar tone for “live forever”, dialed in for a Orange Crush 20 with a harley benton st-20. Studio version, Definitely Maybe (1994)

Original rig

Gibson 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue (R4) through Marshall Valvestate 80V 8080 and WEM Dominator (both solid-state), Roland RE-201 Space Echo for light slap delay

Thick, compressed, wall-of-mids with flat solid-state saturation and minimal sag — not a valve bloom

Why these settings

The Orange Crush 20 is warmer and thicker in the low-mids than the flat Valvestate, so bass drops from 5 to 4 and mid pushes from 6.5 to 7 to recover that nasal, mid-forward wall. Your Harley Benton ST-20's single-coil bridge is thinner and brighter than the original's humbucker Goldtop, so treble stays moderate at 6 rather than climbing higher — the single coil already supplies the bite. The Crush's Dirty channel provides the compressed, non-sagging saturation that matches the solid-state original better than a tube amp would.

PRO TIPLayer the rhythm part twice hard-panned left and right with slightly different pickup positions (bridge on one, bridge+middle on the other) — that's how the massive wall on the record was built, not from a cranked stack.
