The Type O Negative guitar tone for “Nettie”, dialed in for a Boss Katana 100 MkII with a Jackson JS32 Dinky. Studio version, Life Is Killing Me (2003)

Original rig

Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, Ampeg SVT (bass layered with guitar), Gibson Les Paul with humbuckers, Kenny Hickey's signature detuned heavy tone (B standard tuning), minimal pedals - amp-driven distortion

Massive wall-of-sound doom metal crunch with thick low-mids, scooped highs, and crushing palm-muted weight - gothic metal meets classic rock drive on the verse/chorus sections

Why these settings

The Brown channel on Katana approximates the rectified sag and thick midrange of Kenny Hickey's Mesa rig. Type O's guitar tone is deceptively mid-scooped but needs low-mid weight - bass at 7 delivers the doom chug while mid at 4 keeps it from getting muddy. Treble rolled back to 5 prevents the Katana's digital edge from conflicting with their dark aesthetic. Your Jackson's hot ceramic humbuckers push the front end similarly to Hickey's Les Paul.

PRO TIPTune down to B standard (B-E-A-D-F#-B) or at minimum Drop C - Type O's crushing weight is impossible in standard tuning. Pick closer to the bridge with your palm barely touching the strings for that tight, controlled chug on the verse riff.
