The Iced Earth guitar tone for “Greenface”, dialed in for a Positive Grid Spark 40 with a Schecter Diamond Series. Studio version, The Glorious Burden (2004) - D Standard tuning
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (Modern High Gain channel), ESP guitars with EMG 81/85 pickups, possible Maxon OD808 as a boost

01Spark built-in Noise Gate
Essential for tight palm mutes - enable in the app
02Tube Screamer (built-in or similar OD in Spark app)
RECOMMENDED - Use Spark's built-in TS808 model as a clean boost to tighten low end
Your Schecter's humbuckers approximate EMGs well but with slightly more midrange warmth, so the mid scoop is less aggressive than a true Rectifier. The Spark's Rectifier-style model needs the built-in TS boost to achieve Schaffer's signature tight low-end chug. Dropped D tuning is mandatory for this track.
