extreme low-tuned processed djent distortion. This shapes how hard the amp is pushed and where the EQ sits for the BFG Division sound.
What makes the BFG Division part tricky
extreme low tuning, machine-tight muting, polyrhythm, processing. GuitarToneAdapt gets the tone right so you can focus on the playing.
Note: BFG Division is EXTREME industrial djent — Mick Gordon used 9-string (also 8- and 7-string) guitars tuned VERY low, Meshuggah-style, then HEAVILY processed them (he even mixed the DOOM chainsaw sound INTO the riffs via Zynaptiq Morph). It’s less about amp knobs than about a very low tuning, a hard-gated high-gain tone, and creative re-amping/processing., Use the lowest-tuned guitar you have (7/8/9-string), a tight high-gain tone with a hard noise gate, mids present-to-slightly-scooped, and lean into layering/processing. The extreme low tuning + processing IS the sound., Settings are community-researched starting points; Gordon’s tone is heavily processed, so treat the amp values as a launch pad only.
