The Thergothon guitar tone for “Everlasting”, dialed in for a Fender Champion 40 with a Tube screamer Tube screamer. Studio version, Stream from the Heavens (1994)

02EHX Big Muff Pi
Primary gain source; dark, massive funeral doom wall of fuzz
03Boss GE-7 Equalizer
Shapes low-end resonance to compensate for the album's lack of bass guitar while cutting harsh highs
04Boss DM-2W Waza Delay
Standard mode; adds murky trail space behind the chords
05Boss RV-6 Reverb
Hall mode (setting 5); sets deep cavernous atmosphere
Because Thergothon tracked without a bass guitar using heavily down-tuned guitars and massive fuzz, your Big Muff handles the primary gain into Channel 1 of the Champion 40, keeping amp gain clean at 2 to prevent muddy double-clipping. The Champion 40 lacks a mid knob, so the amp's treble is rolled back to 3 and bass pushed to 8 while the GE-7 boosts low fundamentals and shelves fizzy top-end. The Phase 90 and RV-6 recreate the distinct swirling, cavernous 1992 recording ambience.
