01Boss DS-1 Distortion
Primary gain source running into the clean front input
Because the Boss DS-1 acts as the primary dirt source into the single-channel Orange Crush 12, amp gain is set low at 2 to keep the platform clean and prevent muddy stacking. The Orange naturally pushes thick low-mids, so the amp bass is kept moderate at 5 while mids are boosted to 7 to replicate Tom Morello's mid-forward Marshall 2205 bite. (Presence and reverb are omitted as they do not exist on the Crush 12 faceplate).
