Roots Bloody Roots amp settings — Mooer GE100

The Sepultura guitar tone for “Roots Bloody Roots”, dialed in for a Mooer GE100 with a Gibson Les Paul Special. Studio version, Roots (1996) — Main opening rhythm riff (tuned to B standard)

Original rig

Gibson SG (bridge humbucker) into blend of Marshall JCM800 / Mesa Dual Rectifier / Vox AC30 with Tube Screamer boost and tight studio noise gating

Crushing, percussive groove metal — tight low-end thump, aggressive midrange bark, dry and immediate with zero ambience

Why these settings

The Mooer GE100 high-gain amp models tend to get loose in ultra-low drop tunings like B standard, so the TS-style boost block is set with gain low and level high to tighten transient attack. We keep the amp model mids pushed to 7 because the Sepultura percussive bark lives in the 800Hz-1.5kHz range rather than a scooped thrash profile. Reverb is set strictly to zero to maintain bone-dry punch.

PRO TIPDown-tune to B standard (or pitch-shift down 5 semitones) and pick aggressively right over the bridge saddles using heavy palm-muting to achieve Max Cavalera's crushing, percussive per-note attack.
