How it’s played

mid-forward Marshall/Orange metal crunch distortion. This shapes how hard the amp is pushed and where the EQ sits for the Cirice sound.

What makes the Cirice part tricky

heavy riffing, mid-forward drive, melodic feel. GuitarToneAdapt gets the tone right so you can focus on the playing.

Note: Cirice is a dark, MID-FORWARD hard-rock/metal crunch — a humbucker (Gibson RD) into Marshall/Orange tube drive. Pull the bass back (~4) so the mids and articulation shine; medium-high gain, treble up. Not scooped modern metal — the mids ARE the tone., Use a bridge humbucker into a Marshall/Orange-style crunch, bass ~4, mids up (~6.5), medium-high gain; let the mids and pick articulation carry it., Settings are community-researched starting points, not official recall sheets.
