How to get the Iron Man tone (Black Sabbath) on a BOSS GT-1

A thick, dark drive with the mids up front and plenty of low end, heavy without extreme gain.

Treble Boost › MS1959 I+II

The chain on the GT-1

01 · OD/DSTreble Boost
Pushing the amp, not distorting on its own.
02 · PreampMS1959 I+II
High gain, mids up, full low end.

Tested: this patch was built and saved on a real GT-1.

To sound like the record

·
Pick hard and let the notes ring; the weight comes from the attack.
·
If it gets muddy, cut some bass instead of lowering the gain.

Or ask for it ready on the pedal
