Tourniquet amp settings — Digitech Be100

The Evanescence guitar tone for “Tourniquet”, dialed in for a Digitech Be100 with a Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s. Studio version, Fallen (2003)

Original rig

Ben Moody used PRS guitars into Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and Marshall JCM800 (per era-typical rig for Evanescence sessions), with moderate gain staging and tight low-end from studio compression

Thick, compressed nu-metal rhythm crunch with controlled mids, tight bass, and smooth high-end roll-off

Why these settings

The RP360's Bogner-style OD2 channel nails the Rectifier-adjacent compression and mid-focus of the original. Gain at 6 keeps the chug defined without fizz—the original wasn't high-gain saturated, it was controlled studio crunch. Tone knob rolled to 7 tames the Les Paul's bridge humbucker brightness to match the darker, smoother studio mix.

PRO TIPPalm-mute pressure is everything here—lighter muting on the verse riff for sustain, tighter chugs on the heavy sections. The recording has significant low-mid compression, so let your picking dynamics do the work rather than cranking gain.
