RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; tightens low-end flub for intricate post-hardcore riffs
The Orange Crush 12 naturally has a thicker, darker mid-low profile and a small 6-inch speaker, so mid is pushed to 7 and treble to 6 to compensate for the missing top-end cut of Pierce The Veil's modded 5150/Marshall stack. On a single-coil Strat bridge pickup, bass is kept at 5 to prevent the small enclosure from muddying during fast palm-muted staccatos while maintaining enough body. If you add the recommended TS9 boost later, keep amp gain around 6 and use the pedal as a clean level boost to tighten the attack.
