Notes & Caveats
- No direct evidence for exact guitar or pickup model used on this recording; guitar and pickup type are estimated based on artist's known gear and genre conventions.
- No direct numeric amp settings found; settings estimated based on Marshall JCM800 typical use in hardcore/metalcore for riff sections.
- No explicit pedal or effect usage confirmed for this specific recording; only noise gate inferred from genre and artist's general rig.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section; dry, high-gain tone is genre-typical.
- If more precise studio documentation or isolated track analysis becomes available, update all fields accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Assuming 'buried alive' refers to Avenged Sevenfold's song, the riff tone is modern metal: high gain, tight bass, scooped mids, bright treble, and moderate presence for clarity. The track is dry with little reverb, matching genre and production trends.
