RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for Kasparyan's signature shimmering tone. A cheap Behringer UC200 ($25) gets you 80% there.

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Set for 350-400ms analog-style delay. Adds the atmospheric depth crucial to this track.

Why these settings

The Rumble 100 is a bass amp with limited treble response and no guitar-voiced midrange. I've maxed treble and mids to compensate for the dark voicing, cut bass hard to prevent mud, and kept gain minimal for the cleanest possible platform. Without chorus and delay pedals, this tone is unobtainable — those effects are 60% of the sound.

PRO TIPUse your bridge humbucker's coil-split if the GRG170DX has one, or try the middle pickup position for extra clarity. Pick near the bridge with the fleshy part of your thumb resting lightly on strings for that controlled, articulate post-punk attack Kasparyan used.
