Duality amp settings — Orange Crush 12
The Slipknot guitar tone for “Duality”, dialed in for a Orange Crush 12 with a Ibanez GIO GRG170DX. Studio version, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) (2004) — iconic main Drop B heavy rhythm riff
Rivera Knucklehead KR-7 / KR100, Orange Rockerverb prototypes, EMG 81 bridge humbuckers, tuned to Drop B (B-F#-B-E-G#-C#)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 2 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Master | 6 |
Per double-gain prevention, the single-channel Orange Crush 12 gain is kept low at 2 so the Boss DS-1 provides the high-gain distortion without muddying up. The Crush 12's 6-inch speaker and naturally thick Orange low-mids require keeping bass at 5 to prevent flub in Drop B, while boosting Treble to 7 and Mid to 6 compensates for the passive Ibanez Infinity pickups versus Slipknot's active EMGs. Note that the Crush 12 faceplate has only Gain, Overdrive, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Volume, so Presence and Reverb are omitted.
