      Thank you so much! Everything I used is listed in the video description, it was a combination of a Fuzz Plugin and the Will Putney Amp Suite, I‘m afraid I can‘t tell much more, since I don’t use the same PC anymore and don’t have the preset anymore.

      For this one I just used Amp and Cab 2 (which is my go to in the Will Putney plugin), threw a pitch shifter on for some parts. For the other Kublai Khan covers I actually used the New Strength and Nomad presets and slightly tweaked them
