Why these settings

The Orange Crush 12 uses its built-in Overdrive and Gain stages to replicate the 6505/Diezel saturation without pedals. We push treble to 7 and keep mids at 5 to compensate for single-coil pickups while keeping Orange's naturally thick low-mid profile tight. Adding an external high-gain distortion pedal in the future will give the solid-state practice amp the sharper modern-metal compression of the record.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) and dig into the strings hard near the bridge with a heavy pick (1.0mm+) to produce the sharp percussive chunk on the low-end chugs.
