01ZNR (Noise Gate)
Essential for Slaughter's ultra-tight, dead-silent staccato breakdown stops
02TS Drive (Tube Screamer)
Clean boost ahead of the amp model to tighten low-end tracking in drop tuning
Jack Simmons achieves this crushing tone using Quad Cortex captures of dual Mesa Dual Rectifiers pushed by active Fishman Modern humbuckers in drop A/G. On your Zoom G1X Four, use the RECTI OR amp model tightened with a TS Drive (zero gain, high level) and a clamp-tight ZNR gate to match the razor-sharp deathcore response on passive Jackson high-output ceramic humbuckers. Keep the amp bass centered at 5 and lean on mid and treble at 6-7 to prevent your down-tuned low strings from flubbing out.
