Across The Sea amp settings — Orange Crush 12
The Weezer guitar tone for “Across The Sea”, dialed in for a Orange Crush 12 with a Ibanez GIO GRG170DX. Studio version, Pinkerton (1996) — heavy chorus and main rhythm riff

The Boss DS-1 serves as the primary gain engine, so the Orange Crush 12 gain is dropped to 2 to prevent muddy double-gain stacking. Orange solid-state amps have thick low-mids, so the pedal tone is kept around 4 and amp treble at 5 to maintain bite without harsh fizz. Clean intro: bypass the DS-1 and rely on guitar volume.
