Mick Gordon Amp Settings & Guitar Tone
Featured Tone
BFG Division (2016)
Mayones Regius 8-string (primary), Music Man JP7 (secondary) → Fractal Audio Axe-FX II (amp modeler)
Massively heavy, industrial-infused high-gain metal tone. The guitar sounds enormous and otherworldly due to extensive analog processing through synthesizers and tape machines. The core is a tight, aggressive 8-string djent tone with scooped mids and crushing low end, but layered with electronic noise, distortion, and industrial textures that make it sound like a machine rather than a traditional guitar.
