RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; tightens low-end flub on down-tuned slam riffs
02Noise Gate
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; critical for dead-silent stop-start slam breakdowns
The Crate RFX120 uses an analog solid-state high-gain circuit (Solo channel) that provides ample saturation for slam death metal without pedals. Because PeelingFlesh tunes down to Drop A, bass is kept at 7 to avoid low-end mud on the 12-inch speakers, while mids are scooped slightly to 4 for modern aggressive crunch. Treble is pushed to 7 to replicate the bright string attack of modern active pickups on passive Diamond Plus humbuckers.
