Notes & Caveats
- No specific numeric amp settings for gain, bass, mid, treble, presence, or reverb were found in sources. Settings estimated based on typical EVH 5150 III Stealth usage in modern metal and Trivium's genre/era.
- Pedals such as Maxon OD808, Airis Cloud Drive, and DigiTech Whammy were only used for solos or leads, not for the main riff/rhythm section per source 1.
- All time-based and modulation effects (delay, reverb, phaser, wah) were added in post-production and are not present in the riff section guitar signal.
- Pickup model inferred from artist signature guitar specs for this album cycle; no explicit mention in sources for this song but consistent with era and artist's statements.
- No evidence of effects loop or amp-based effects used for rhythm/riff section.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Trivium's 'A Crisis Of Revelation' features a modern, ultra-tight metal tone with saturated gain, tight low end, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, and clear, articulate highs. Their typical use of Peavey 6505/EVH 5150-style amps and genre conventions point to these settings, with reverb kept dry for maximum attack and clarity.
