Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source lists exact knob settings for the solo; amp and effect settings are estimated based on typical Axe-Fx III/EVH 5150 III usage for modern metal leads.
  • ⚠️All effects are processed in the Axe-Fx III; no evidence of analog pedals or real amp for the studio recording.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice (bridge) is inferred from the solo's bright, cutting tone and Lee McKinney's typical usage.
  • ⚠️Delay and reverb are clearly audible in the solo, but exact models/settings are not specified in sources; included as 'Delay pedal (model unknown)' and Axe-Fx III digital reverb.
  • ⚠️All settings and effects are for the studio recording, not live.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Born of Osiris's 'Angel or Alien' solo features a tight, saturated modern metal lead tone with clear articulation, moderate mids for note definition, and a slightly boosted presence for clarity; the bass is kept tight to avoid muddiness, and reverb is minimal for a focused, up-front sound typical of their genre and era.
