There's a reason that Crunch defaults to only 3% in the Angle Severe model. The way that amp is usually used, most users aren't really going for a crunch tone.
That said, a touch of crunch will often help you cut through a mix. It works better in context than it does by itself.
I am getting the exact opposite kind of experience. In the mix context my double tracked guitars are cutting better and punching more. Different strokes for different folks.
