Why these settings

The Orange Crush 12 is warmer and less scooped than a Twin Reverb, so mid is dropped to 4 and bass pushed to 6 to approximate the Fender's natural scoop and low-end fullness. Treble at 5 avoids the Orange's tendency toward thickness while keeping the glassy top. Gain stays low at 3 for a clean platform. The Crush 12 has no presence or reverb knob.

PRO TIPRoll your tone knob to 7 and use a light strumming touch near the neck pickup to get the relaxed, round attack Nowell had; the Encore's brighter single coils will benefit from this mellowing.
