01Noise Gate (LT25 onboard)
Use the LT25's built-in noise gate to tighten palm mutes and reduce hum between riffs — essential for this style
The LT25's Metal 2000 model approximates the 5150/Rectifier saturation typical of 2000s post-hardcore. Mids scooped to 4 for that era's characteristic dip around 800Hz, but not lower — the SG's mahogany body already adds low-mid warmth. Treble at 7 compensates for the SG's darker voicing vs a brighter solidbody. Reverb at 0; this genre was recorded bone-dry.
