RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; tightens the low-end flub on modern djent/drop tunings
Sleep Token's recorded tone relies on an 8-string baritone through a digital 5150 rig; using an acoustic-electric Martin Series X through an analog Marshall Valvestate OD2 channel will inherently sound much thinner, boxier, and prone to acoustic feedback. Push the gain and mids on OD2 to generate the necessary saturation while keeping bass moderate to prevent low-frequency acoustic howl. If you add the recommended TS9 boost later, keep its drive at 0 to focus the string attack. Clean intro: switch to the Clean channel with bass 5, mid 5, treble 6.
