Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms exact guitar, pickups, or amp for 'Cheyne Stokes' studio recording; all gear and settings are estimated based on Chelsea Grin's known gear from the 2008-2010 era, genre conventions, and audible tone.
- No numeric amp settings found in sources; settings estimated based on typical Peavey 6505+ usage in deathcore and audible characteristics.
- No pedal or effect models are confirmed for this specific recording; effects list is based on what is clearly audible in the riff section.
- No evidence of built-in amp reverb or time-based/modulation effects in the riff section; only high-gain distortion and tight, dry rhythm tone are present.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Chelsea Grin's 'Cheyne Stokes' features a very high-gain, modern deathcore tone with tight, controlled bass, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, aggressive treble and presence for clarity and attack, and a bone-dry sound typical of the genre and era. These settings reflect the band's use of boosted high-gain amps (often Peavey 5150/6505 or similar) with minimal ambience.
