Killswitch Engage’s ‘My Curse’ is an iconic track with a crushing yet articulate guitar tone that blends tight low-end with searing mids. If you’re looking to recreate this sound in a modern setup, Neural DSP’s Plini X plugin combined with King Studios’ Kings Cab Impulse Response (IR) Pack can get you close.
Plini X might not seem like the first choice for metal tones, but with the right settings and a solid IR like those from Kings Cab, it delivers a tight and aggressive sound reminiscent of ‘My Curse.’ Experiment with mic blends and post-processing to refine the tone further. Happy riffing!
