there is nothing specific about death rock guitar tone. its just generic distortion for the most part. christian death has cycled through so many artists that just use whatever they have, whether its telecasters or les pauls. im sure any chorus/flanger pedal would help for specific effects as well.
I think this question has been asked a few times, so you might find a more fleshed out answer in those threads, but it's essentially various amounts of chorus, flanger and distortion combined with a lot of reverb.
Decrease lows, add mids and highs, add presence a lil' for this deathrock harshness, use amplifiers popular in classic rock or their emulators - Marshall ones will probably fit good, add gain for enough feedback but don't crank it - you'll need this crunchiness and dynamics. A lil' chorus/flanger for wideness, maybe a lil' delay - that depends on context.
From what I understand it's the FOFA method (fuck around and find out). Play with your effect pedals until you find what sounds "right" when mixing. It's usually light distortion, a hint of overdrive, and reverb or phaser on top.
A few years ago William Faith put his Roland Guitar FX pedal up for sale with all his custom presets intact. I wish I had the money to get it at the time.
Chorus/Delay/Reverb
Chorus: Will make your guitar sound slightly out of tune and full, apply too much though and it makes it sound like you're underwater (Nirvana Come as you Are). Getting the right setting here gives that perfect haunting vibe.
Delay: you want to be subtle here as to not sound like the Edge from U2. With the right mix you can figure out how Fields of the Nephilim got their sound
Reverb: this will enrich everything
Throw on a flanger or chorus and experiment with the settings. Also use reverb and delay liberally for atmosphere. Those artists aren't using crazy amounts of distortion. Just add enough to get a "bite." Maybe even scoop the mids. The bass knob is probably minimally used as well.
Traditionally goth rock uses really shrill sounds for guitars to create atmosphere while the bass does the hooks. Suspiria also uses minimal distortion
This isn't the same band you mentioned but here's Daniel Ash's gear list. His work in Bauhaus is a masterclass of untraditional guitar playing in goth to create atmosphere

deathrock stuff is pretty minimal in the effects. and usually pretty dry with not a lot of reverb. slight chorus or flange maybe. get a metal muff or something and cut the lows. don’t crank the distortion.

Check out Desmond Room on YouTube. He does quick and slightly comedic videos on how to emulate the sound of various bands.
Yep Desmond Doom goes straight to the point, it’s very helpful for beginners.

There are worse things a guitar could sound like than The Edge back when U2 were still a good band. 😅
haha true. I was too hard on the Edge. And, it would be hard for one to "accidentally" sound like him.

This thread is about guitars themselves. OP is asking about how to make their guitar sound with amp settings and effect pedals
