The Fried By Fluoride guitar tone for “The Love I Lost”, dialed in for a Harley Benton HB-20fmx with a Ibanez GRGR131EX. Studio version, In Excellent Order (2023)
Epiphone SG Standard / Squier Sonic Mustang HH into DAW amp simulation (Cakewalk/direct digital high-gain punk amp model)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 8 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 5 |
The original relies on a bright, gritty direct-in DAW punk distortion with prominent upper-mids and treble. On the Harley Benton HB-20fmx's overdrive mode, push the mid and treble knobs high while keeping the bass neutral to capture that aggressive, abrasive bite without flubbing out the 8-inch speaker. The Ibanez GRGR131EX ceramic bridge humbucker delivers sufficient output, so gain at 7 will nail the saturation without excessive digital fizz.
