Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No exact numeric amp settings found in sources; settings estimated based on Diezel/Orange high-gain profiles and modern metal production.
  • ⚠️Pedal/effects info for the riff section is inferred from interviews and genre conventions; no explicit studio pedalboard photo or session notes found.
  • ⚠️Kemper Profiler is used to model Diezel and Orange amps; actual studio amp may be a profile, not the physical amp.
  • ⚠️No evidence of modulation or time-based effects (chorus, delay, flanger, etc.) on the riff section; only overdrive (Tube Screamer) and minimal reverb likely used.
  • ⚠️Pickup selector not explicitly stated, but bridge pickup is standard for metal rhythm tones with active pickups.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Motionless In White's 'Another Life' features a modern, tight, high-gain metalcore tone with slightly scooped mids, controlled bass for tightness, and enough treble/presence for clarity and cut. The production is very dry and punchy, with almost no audible reverb, matching genre and era conventions.
