Slippin amp settings — Boss Katana 50 MkII
The Snuffed on sight guitar tone for “Slippin”, dialed in for a Boss Katana 50 MkII with a Kramer Striker HSS. Studio version, Snuffed on Sight - extreme metallic hardcore / goregrind (2020 era)
Snuffed on Sight uses downtuned guitars (likely Drop A or lower) through high-gain amplification typical of goregrind/death metal crossover — HM-2 style chainsaw tone or modern high-gain heads (5150/6505 territory), heavy distortion with scooped mids, massive low-end, recorded with close-mic'd cabs for maximum aggression

01Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive
Use as a tight boost into the Brown channel — adds pick attack and tightens low-end for downtuned riffing. Drive low to avoid mud, Level high to push the front end.
Original goregrind tone relies on extreme saturation from high-gain amps or HM-2 style pedals. The Katana Brown channel approximates the 5150/Marshall high-gain voicing needed. Mid scooped to 3 replicates the chainsaw character. SD-1 functions as a tightening boost — keeps low-end defined on downtuned riffs rather than adding its own dirt. Presence at 6 adds grinding attack without fizz.
