Korn - Freak On a Leash - Guitar Lesson

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier

Munky's tone foundation, delivering the scooped mid-heavy gain that defines nu-metal's signature sound. Running the modern high-gain channel loud pushes power tubes into natural saturation, adding body and sustain to detuned seven-string riffs.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

Essential to Korn's signature texture, Munky uses slow, expressive wah sweeps over dissonant chords like in 'Freak On a Leash' to create haunting, vocal-like tones that cut through heavily distorted riffs.

ISP Decimator Noise Gate

Critical noise management tool for extreme gain levels and heavily detuned tunings that would otherwise create excessive feedback and buzz. Placed early in the signal chain, it lets both guitarists push their amps hard without sacrificing clarity.

Electro-Harmonix Small Clone

Munky layers this subtle chorus effect in atmospheric sections to add width and shimmer to detuned riffs without muddying the percussive, muted scratching technique that defines Korn's rhythmic approach.
