How it’s played

thick low-tuned JCM800 metalcore crunch distortion. This shapes how hard the amp is pushed and where the EQ sits for the Throne sound.

What makes the Throne part tricky

low tuning, driving chug, tight timing. GuitarToneAdapt gets the tone right so you can focus on the playing.

Note: Throne is a low-tuned (C or Bb, heavy strings) Les Paul into loud Marshall JCM800s — thick, driving, mid-present metalcore crunch, high gain, tight. Not a scooped modern-djent tone; the JCM800 mids carry it., Tune low (C/Bb) with heavy strings, use a Les Paul/humbucker into a Marshall-style high-gain, mids present, treble up; chug it driving and tight., Settings are community-researched starting points, not official recall sheets.
