Crazy train amp settings — Fender Twin Reverb

Why these settings

The Fender Twin Reverb has massive clean headroom and an inherently scooped midrange, making Randy's cranked Marshall crunch impossible to fully replicate through amp controls alone. To bridge the gap today, turn the Bright switch off, push the Mid knob to 8, pull Bass down to 4 to prevent flub, and roll your Strat's bridge tone down to 8 to tame the glassy single-coil bite. Once you acquire an MXR Distortion+, drop the amp volume/gain to 3 to use the Twin purely as a clean pedal platform.

PRO TIPRandy aggressively double-tracked his rhythm parts with subtle variations in pick attack; pick hard directly near the bridge saddles with a thick plectrum to emulate the sharp percussive transient of his custom Gibson LP.
