01Lichtlaerm Audio Medusa
Gain source (Swedish chainsaw/high-gain preamp running in front of the rig)
02TC Electronic G-Major (Parametric EQ Block)
(FX loop) Used to sculpt Dan Swanö's Unisound studio cut around 2.5-3 kHz
03TC Electronic G-Major (Hall Reverb Block)
(FX loop) Recreates the chilly Swedish black metal hall ambience
Because the TC Electronic G-Major is a rack multi-effects processor without onboard preamp emulation, your Lichtlaerm Medusa acts as the primary gain stage directly into your rig. Set the Medusa to high gain with healthy mid-frequency cut rather than a total HM-2 buzzsaw scoop to match the articulation of Storm of the Light's Bane. The G-Major sits in the loop handling studio parametric tightening and the quintessential cold Unisound reverb tail. Clean intro switch: bypass the Medusa and engage a clean chorus patch on the G-Major.
