Recording context

Electronic metalcore, 2013; low-tuned Les Paul into a Klon-boosted Marshall JCM800

How it’s played

dark, anthemic electronic-metalcore — atmospheric intro into a huge, driving chorus, mid, driving tempo, big — ambient electronic verses to heavy chorus dynamics · high-gain distortion. This shapes how hard the amp is pushed and where the EQ sits for the Can You Feel My Heart sound.

What makes the Can You Feel My Heart part tricky

low drop tuning (C / Bb), driving, anthemic power-chord riffing, balancing the heavy guitar with the electronic/synth layers. GuitarToneAdapt gets the tone right so you can focus on the playing.

Note: Lee Malia's secret: 'not much gain but it sounds gainy' — a Marshall JCM800 boosted by a Klon overdrive, mid-forward and direct, not maxed gain. Low tuning (Drop C / Bb) with heavy strings + humbuckers does the heavy lifting. Knob numbers are community-researched estimates.
