Pray for Plagues amp settings — Zoom G2X Four
The Decayer guitar tone for “Pray for Plagues”, dialed in for a Zoom G2X Four with a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. Decayer cover version from 'End Note' (2019) — main heavy rhythm and breakdown tone
High-gain modern tube head (Peavey 5150 / Mesa Dual Rectifier style), TS-style overdrive boost, extended-range guitar with high-output humbuckers

01Zoom TS Drive (Tube Screamer block)
Tightens the flubby low end and pushes high-mids before the amp block
02Zoom ZNR (Noise Gate block)
Essential for stopping feedback and keeping staccato breakdown chugs dead silent
The Squier Affinity's single-coil pickups lack the low-end punch and output of deathcore humbuckers, so the TS Drive block level is pushed to 9 and treble on the amp model is slightly rolled off to prevent harsh ice-pick frequencies. The ED 5150 amp block handles the core saturation at gain 6 with scooped mids (4) to recreate the signature modern breakdown thump without turning to mud. Keep the noise gate aggressive to choke unwanted single-coil hum during tight palm-muted stops.
