Crazy train amp settings — Orange Crush 35RT
The Ozzy Osbourne guitar tone for “Crazy train”, dialed in for a Orange Crush 35RT with a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster. Studio version, Blizzard of Ozz (1980) - iconic main riff & rhythm tone
1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom (bridge pickup) -> MXR Distortion + -> MXR 10-Band Graphic EQ (500Hz mid-boost) -> 1970s Marshall JMP 1959 Super Lead MKII 100W head into 4x12 cabs (Altec 417-8H speakers)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 8 |
| Bass | 4 |
| Mid | 8 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 5 |
01MXR Distortion +
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; with pedal, run into clean channel with gain at 2
02MXR 10-Band Graphic EQ
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; pushes signature 500Hz mid bark
The Orange Crush 35RT naturally has thick low-mids, so the bass is trimmed to 4 while pushing the mid control to 8 to mimic Randy's famous 500Hz graphic EQ spike. Because you are playing single coils instead of Randy's high-output humbuckers, amp gain is pushed to 8 on the Dirty channel and the Strat bridge tone knob is backed down to 8 to cut harsh glassiness. Adding an MXR Distortion + down the road will provide the exact hard-clipping buzzsaw saturation heard on the master track.
