Slaughterer Chainsaw (Revamped) amp settings — EVH 5150 Iconic 80W
The Extermination Dismemberment guitar tone for “Slaughterer Chainsaw (Revamped)”, dialed in for a EVH 5150 Iconic 80W with a Ibanez 121dx. Studio version, Butcher Basement Revamped re-recording (2024), Unique Leader Records
Likely high-gain amp (Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier or Peavey 5150/6505 variant common in slam/BDM), 7-string or downtuned 6-string with active or high-output passive humbuckers, tight low-end focus with scooped mids for that crushing slam tone
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 3 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Presence | 6 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 5 |
01Tube Screamer (TS9 or clone)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for slam/BDM tightness. Run into amp input with Drive at 0 to tighten low end and add pick attack without stacking gain. This is the industry standard for modern extreme metal.
Your EVH 5150 Iconic is already in the exact amp family used for this genre — the 5150 circuit is a brutal death metal staple. The Ibanez RG121DX's Quantum humbucker is hot enough to push the front end hard. Mids are scooped to 3 for that characteristic BDM scoop, but not lower — you need definition for the chugs. Bass at 5 prevents mud; the 5150's resonance control handles the sub-thump. Without a TS in front, your low end will be slightly looser than the record — consider that pedal purchase seriously.
