Hey mein freund amp settings — Harley Benton Intertek

The Rabauken guitar tone for “Hey mein freund”, dialed in for a Harley Benton Intertek with a Blue artz I dont know. Studio version, Hey Mein Freund! album (1999, Oi! Hammer Records)

Original rig

Typical late 90s German Oi-Punk setup: Marshall JCM800 or similar British head, humbucker-loaded guitar (likely Les Paul or SG copy), minimal pedals - possibly a Boss DS-1 or RAT for extra grit, played through 4x12 cab

Raw, aggressive mid-forward punk crunch with tight palm mutes, minimal gain saturation, punchy and direct with working-class grit

Why these settings

The Harley Benton Intertek is unrecognized - assuming it is a DNAfx GiT or similar multi-FX unit based on Harley Benton's lineup. Select a Marshall/British crunch amp model. Mid pushed to 7 compensates for the scooped nature of many modelers vs the mid-forward JCM800 character. The OD300 on TS mode adds the tight low-end cut and mid-hump that defines Oi-punk palm-mute clarity. Gain kept moderate at 6 - Oi-punk is crunchy, not saturated.

PRO TIPOi-punk tone lives in the pick attack - use thick picks (1mm+), strike hard near the bridge, and keep your palm mutes tight and percussive. The aggression comes from your hands, not the gain knob.
