Notes & Caveats
- No explicit numeric amp settings for '11th Hour' studio recording found in sources; settings estimated based on typical Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier usage in early 2000s metal.
- Guitar and pickup confirmed for Mark Morton in this era via Equipboard and music video, but not 100% confirmed for every rhythm track.
- No evidence of pedals or effects used on the riff section; tone is dry and direct, consistent with genre and era.
- If alternate amp or pedal info emerges, settings may need revision.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Lamb of God's '11th Hour' features a tight, aggressive modern metal tone typical of Mark Morton and Willie Adler's Mesa/Peavey setups from the early 2000s: high gain, tight bass, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, crisp treble, boosted presence for bite, and bone-dry with no reverb.
