Crystal Mountain amp settings — Line 6 Helix Floor

The Death guitar tone for “Crystal Mountain”, dialed in for a Line 6 Helix Floor with a Jackson JS22 Dinky. Studio version, Symbolic (1995)

Original rig

B.C. Rich Stealth (DiMarzio X2N high-output bridge pickup) -> Marshall Valvestate 8100 head (OD2 channel, Contour high) -> Marshall 1960B 4x12 cab (G12T-75 speakers)

Aggressive, razor-sharp solid-state death metal crunch with scooped mids, tight low-end tracking, and biting top end

Why these settings

The Jackson JS22 stock ceramic bridge pickup gives plenty of output, but it lacks the ultra-hot midrange push of Chuck's DiMarzio X2N. Compensate by using the Line 6 Badonk model with gain at 7 and the parametric EQ scooping at 750Hz to mimic the famous Marshall Valvestate 8100 Contour knob. Keep the bass tight at 6 and boost presence to 7 to replicate the piercing high-end bite of G12T-75 speakers.

PRO TIPChuck used extreme downward pick attack right next to the bridge to get maximum percussive scrape on the fast alternate-picked riffing.
