Its not a sound i'd shoot for personally, but this:
Product: Line 6 Pod XT Pro
plus tuning to F will get you almost there.

These two patches are really great for that tone, as well.
Requires POD XT PRO/X3
Sevenstring.org - Patch Library - Destroy Erase Improve POD XT/X3 tone.
Requires Line 6 Toneport minimum, but works with POD XT, PRO, X3, etc.

2 points I want to make:
1) I've never seen anyone get anywhere close to Meshuggah on a Spider- though a lot of peopel seem to get excellent results with PODs
2) they used to use DiMarzio Blaze pickups before they got the M8's. Apparently on Frederik Thordenal's Special Defects- Sol Niger Within CD he has those in there, and has some kickass excellent tone (most definitely meshuggah).
Helps to have a baritone scale neck as well. Their 8's are 30"

Yes..
Obzen's tone is extremely awesome.
... They use 52's for the B string? Whoa.
P.S. What is Djent?!

Your new god.
Just repeat the word "djent" in a polyrhythmic fashion and you'll know what it means.

I LIKE JUICE!!!
52 for B (or Bb in their case) really isn't all that light considering they're working with a 30" scale. I use a 52 for B on a 25.5" scale. I'm sure their strings are quite a bit tighter.
well, they use 52s NOW, yeah, cos they're on 30" 8s! But they used to use 25.5" 7s, which they used 9-60s on.
Getting a 'meshuggah' tone has now become quite a vague question really, seeing as they have such a huge back catalogue of tones, it evolves with every album. My favourite is obzen though, it's the most organic i feel, ironically enough seeing as they're using line6 gear now
so, which album's tone were you aiming for?

They've always used .052.
I remember reading a GW interview when they used to do a artist column (when GW was still decent) and they had a article about their rigs, guitars, tone etc.
<DING!> Correct.
Always so much speculation and misinformation regarding their gear.
i suggest you try to forge an orginal tone instead of the same tone a billion guys are after

True....unless you're deliberately covering their material. Then trying to do it with a different tone is pointless and sounds off.
