Why these settings

The GP-200 provides the modern Darkglass-style high-frequency grind via the drive block while running into a clean, punchy bass amp model. Because the Ibanez GSR200 has dynamic passive P/J pickups with the active Phat II bass boost, leave the Phat II knob at 0-2 to avoid muddying the ultra-low tuning, and lean on the GP-200 high-mid boost (2.8kHz) for that signature progressive metalcore clank.

PRO TIPNorthlane's signature attack relies on fresh stainless steel roundwound strings and hard downpicking with a heavy 1.0mm+ pick right over the bridge pickup to generate the metallic string clank.
