Ritual amp settings — Roland BC 30
The Blasphemy guitar tone for “Ritual”, dialed in for a Roland BC 30 with a Jackson Pro Series King V. Studio version, Gods of War (1993) — recorded at Fiasco Bros. Studio, New Westminster, BC, September-December 1992
Caller of the Storms used a mid-80s Marshall JCM800 2203 head into a 4x12 cab with stock Celestion speakers, Jackson/Charvel guitar with humbuckers, Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal for the signature chainsaw buzz. Canadian war metal tone: raw, trebly, lo-fi with extreme saturation and zero polish.

01Outlaw distortion
This is your primary gain source for the chainsaw buzz — amp gain kept moderate to avoid mud. Crank distortion and tone high to approximate HM-2 harshness. Run into amp's clean channel if Lead channel sounds too compressed with the pedal.
The Roland BC-30 (Blues Cube 30) is a Fender-style clean platform with warm mids — the opposite of Blasphemy's harsh JCM800+HM-2 chainsaw tone. Your Outlaw distortion pedal becomes the gain source; I've set the amp's Lead channel to moderate gain (7) and scooped mids (3) to approximate the war metal scoop, but pushed treble (8) hard to get the ice-pick attack. The BC-30 has no presence control — that's reflected as null. For more buzz, try the clean channel with the Outlaw maxed.
