Down with the Sickness (Clean Version) amp settings — Marshall DSL40CR
The Disturbed guitar tone for “Down with the Sickness (Clean Version)”, dialed in for a Marshall DSL40CR with a Epiphone Les Paul Classic. Studio version, The Sickness (2000)
Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier (Modern/Red channel), Gibson Les Paul Standard with stock humbuckers, no pedals
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 8 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 3 |
| Treble | 8 |
| Presence | 5 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 5 |
The DSL40CR Ultra Gain channel is inherently more mid-forward than a Rectifier, so mids are dropped to 3 to approximate the scooped nu-metal sound. Treble is pushed to 8 because the DSL's treble shelf is lower than the Rectifier's, and high gain needs extra top end to stay defined. Presence is pulled back to 5 to avoid the DSL's tendency toward fizz at high gain.
