01EHX Big Muff Pi
Primary gain source - amp must stay clean to avoid mud
Corgan's Siamese Dream tone stacks Big Muff into a Marshall pushed by Mesa power section for massive saturation. Your Crush 35RT cannot replicate that amp saturation, so the Big Muff becomes your sole gain source with the amp on Clean channel at low gain to stay defined. Orange amps are naturally warm with thick low-mids, so bass is moderate and mids scooped slightly to approximate the wall-of-fuzz character. Treble at 6 compensates for your Les Paul's darker humbuckers versus Corgan's brighter Strat single coils.
