Ultra-tight modern deathcore chug with scooped mids, aggressive pick attack, compressed low-end, and fizzy high-gain saturation

Why these settings

The HB-20G is a 20W solid-state practice amp with an 8-inch speaker — it cannot physically reproduce the subterranean low-end or crushing SPL of studio deathcore tones. I compensated by pulling bass to 4 (prevents speaker flub), boosting treble to 7 (restores pick attack lost through small driver), and scooping mids to 3 (approximates the modern metal scoop). The ME-70's OD-as-boost and compressor are doing the heavy lifting to tighten the amp's inherently loose solid-state gain. This is the closest achievable approximation — honest expectations required.

PRO TIPPalm-mute hard and anchor your picking hand firmly against the bridge for maximum chug tightness — the tone on 'Behelit' relies heavily on precise right-hand muting technique, not just gear. Downpick aggressively on the chugs rather than alternate picking to match the attack.
