How do Lamb of God sound lower tuned than they are?

[Ursupator]

As the title says,

I thought about them tuning down to C or B,
but I looked it up and they mostly tune to Drop D oder D Standard, but their songs always sound very sludgy and low tuned, while e.g. Slipknot tunes very low with a similar grooving "heaviness" to it.

How do they achieve this effect?

One way to go is use an octaver that do sub.
But if you figure out key they play in, you could tell if B or C or actually played higher like F or G with octaver.

EHX POG2 is excellent and also track polyphonic. It does 4 octaves(+/- 2) and just add amount of each with a fader.
And a bunch of other stuff too like envelopes.

I always wondering how Leslie West got the powerful sound of his until I saw a vid where he explained his rig with octaver as well.

Maybe they use this trick?
