No. 0301992·groove-metal·4 blocks
Walk
One of the tightest, most aggressive rhythm sounds in metal history. The rig is unconventional: a Dean ML 'Dean From Hell' into a SOLID-STATE Randall RG100ES through a Randall 4x12 with Celestion G12T-75s. The solid-state Randall is the secret weapon — where a tube amp compresses transients, the Randall delivers every pick attack with surgical precision. Half the tone is the amp; the other half is the MXR Six-Band Graphic EQ in front of it, scooping the mids flat to create the V-curve that defines groove metal.
