Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct numeric amp settings found; settings estimated based on Peavey 5150 II typical metal usage and Axe-Fx III modeling.
  • ⚠️Pedal/effects info for this exact riff section is not explicitly listed in sources; no evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section.
  • ⚠️All evidence points to a straight high-gain amp model with minimal reverb and no additional effects for the main riff.
  • ⚠️Guitarists swapped signature guitars in studio; main riff most likely tracked with Misha Mansoor's Jackson Juggernaut HT7 with Bare Knuckle Juggernaut pickups, but Mark Holcomb's PRS may have been used on some layers.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Periphery's 'Blood Eagle' features a modern djent tone: extremely high gain, tight low end (bass reduced to avoid mud), mids set neutral to slightly forward for aggression, bright but not harsh treble, boosted presence for clarity, and bone-dry with no reverb. These settings reflect Misha Mansoor's typical amp approach for this era and genre.
