Studio recording, 2023-2024 era. LANDMVRKS guitarist Nicolas Exposito is confirmed to use this guitar and amp for heavy riff sections. Neural DSP Quad Cortex is also part of the rig, but Peavey 5150 is the core amp for the heavy rhythm tone. No evidence of While She Sleeps/Mat Welsh's exact studio gear for this track, but main riff tone is consistent with LANDMVRKS' signature setup.

Notes & Caveats
- No direct studio session details for 'A Line in the Dust'; gear and settings inferred from confirmed LANDMVRKS guitarist rig and genre conventions.
- No explicit pedal settings or amp knob values found; amp settings estimated based on typical Peavey 5150 usage in modern metalcore.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section; only distortion/boost and noise gate confirmed.
- While She Sleeps/Mat Welsh's exact studio gear for this song not documented; main riff tone matches LANDMVRKS' core setup.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff tone is ultra-tight, saturated, and modern, typical of LANDMVRKS and While She Sleeps' recent productions—high gain, tight bass, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, and clear treble/presence for articulation. The tone is very dry, with little to no reverb, matching modern metalcore/djent conventions.
