Why these settings

Without verified original gear, these settings target a clean indie pop guitar texture on the Orange Crush 12's inherently warm voicing. Gain at 2 keeps it clean-platform, bass at 6 provides bedroom pop fullness without mud, treble at 6 maintains string definition without harshness. Your Ibanez humbuckers will be warmer than typical single-coil indie tones, so neck pickup with tone rolled to 7 reduces excess brightness.

PRO TIPFor bedroom pop guitar tones, pick closer to the neck with a light touch and compress heavily in post — the feel matters more than the amp settings, as most of this production style happens in the mix with plugins rather than at the source.
