Forgotten amp settings — Orange Crush 12
The The Plot In You guitar tone for “Forgotten”, dialed in for a Orange Crush 12 with a Ibanez Gio RGR221PA. Studio version, Vol. 1 EP (2024)
The Plot In You typically uses high-gain setups with Mesa Boogie and/or Axe-Fx/Kemper modeling for studio work, 7-string guitars with active pickups, octave pedals, and heavily processed tones with tight low-end characteristic of modern metalcore production
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Mid | 3 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 6 |
01Noise Gate (RECOMMENDED — not owned)
RECOMMENDED — Essential for tight palm mutes and silence between chugs. Boss NS-2 or TC Sentry would work.
02Tube Screamer-style OD (RECOMMENDED — not owned)
RECOMMENDED — Run as a clean boost to tighten the low end and add pick attack. Drive at zero, level pushing the front end. TS Mini or EHX East River Drive are budget options.
03Octave Pedal (RECOMMENDED — not owned)
RECOMMENDED — Used on specific riffs per the official tab. Boss OC-3 or Digitech Drop can approximate this. Engage only on marked sections.
The Orange Crush 12 is a practice amp with limited gain and no FX loop, so this tone will be approximated rather than replicated. I pushed gain to 9 and cut bass to 4 to prevent mud—Orange amps are naturally thick in the low-mids. Treble at 7 compensates for the Crush's warmth. Your Gio's passive IBZ-6 humbuckers are lower output than the active pickups used on the record, so the TS boost is critical for tightness and cut.
