Those are roughly the ones that can sound "whistly", "quacky" or "telephone-y" and can make a highly distorted tone a bit fatiguing. Potentially problematic resonances to listen to: 800-900 Hz, 1k - 1.25k, 2.2k, 3.5k, 4.7k. Mids can be pulled out a bit (300-600 Hz, wide Q, depending on the voicing of the amp) to make it more "brutal", but don't go too far, otherwise the sound is gonna disappear in the distance.
EQ wise low cut either at 80 or 100 Hz, depending on the feel, and a high cut at 8k or so. It probably includes presets that are in the ballpark, possibly something with "Thrash", "Djent", "Chug" or similar in the title. That's one of those that everyone uses who can't or doesn't want to afford a commercial amp sim from ML Soundlab, Neural DSP etc. There's free amp sims which do this kind of thing pretty well and definitely better than Guitar Rig.
So that would be played on the bridge pickup through a high gain amp.
Other than that, I assume it's supposed to be a typical very heavy, distorted tone. That's actually the easier way to play this stuff for not-really-guitar players. To play the riff, you'd have to tune down either a whole step to D, or use a drop D tuning where you only drop the low E string to a D. I recently got the Electrum Core from United Plugins (the guys who make FrontDaw and Unichannel) and have to say I pretty much like it and it's very light on CPU. Les Paul has a traditionally doped low end (thats why it works great with distortion without getting too harsh or acid) so I think it will work fine. So my suggestion is get a drop tuning (even halftone down for all the strings and 1.5 tone for the lowest string), just apply cable from LP direct to your interface and just find the right preset, making sure it includes a good gate. But, mostly, you'll have less flexibility in fixing eventual technical difficulties in your daw. All the mentioned virtual amps/cabs have tons of presets that will sound just great.įor this I would not use real pedals/amps (definitely not a Big Muff with a Les Paul) unless you're a skilled player, as the style implies a full control of your picking ability and you'd probably need a decimator/gate pedal at the end of the chain, as many do, to tighten up notes. I'm saying just as havent found it mentioned in your post. You'll need a drop tuning for that sound.
