BYPASS the Fullbore — the Orange Crush's dirty channel delivers Dime's tight saturation better than stacking. Use the Fullbore ONLY if you need more gain for solos, in which case set amp gain to 4 and engage pedal with these settings

Why these settings

Orange Crush 100 is solid-state like Dime's Randalls, making it an excellent match for this tone's tight, uncompressed attack. Scooped mids to 3 replicates the MXR EQ mid-cut Dime used. The Crush's inherent warmth requires treble pushed to 7 to achieve Dime's razor edge. Keep the Fullbore bypassed — double-gain stacking muddies the tight pick articulation this tone demands.

PRO TIPDime's pick attack was critical — use a heavy pick (1.5mm+), anchor your palm firmly on the bridge for tight muting, and strike the strings at a slight angle to get that percussive 'click' on the attack that cuts through the scooped mids.
