All That's Left amp settings — Blackstar ID:Core 20 V3

The Thrice guitar tone for “All That's Left”, dialed in for a Blackstar ID:Core 20 V3 with a Jackson Soloist slx dx. Studio version, The Artist in the Ambulance (2003)

Original rig

Gibson Les Paul through Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, likely with Maxon OD808 or similar tube screamer for tightness; some tracks ran through Marshall JCM800. Teppei Teranishi's rig during this era featured high-gain tube heads with humbucker-equipped guitars.

Aggressive post-hardcore crunch with tight palm mutes, scooped-ish mids for chunk but enough midrange bark for note definition, compressed and saturated but not fizzy

Why these settings

The original Rectifier tone is scooped and saturated. The ID:Core Super Crunch voice approximates this well—set ISF to 10-11 o'clock (slightly toward American/tight) to get the Recto-style tight low end rather than British woolliness. Your Jackson's high-output humbuckers match the Les Paul's output closely, so no gain compensation needed. The ID:Core has no presence knob—its voicing is handled internally.

PRO TIPFor the tight chugging palm mutes that define this track, anchor your picking hand firmly near the bridge saddles and use downstrokes exclusively on the low-string riffs—the attack consistency sells the aggression more than extra gain would.
