Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source gives exact amp knob settings for 'Cirice' solo; settings estimated based on typical Orange Rockerverb 100 MKII usage in studio metal context and genre/era conventions.
  • ⚠️No explicit pedalboard or effect chain for the studio solo section of 'Cirice' found; pedal/effect info inferred from band endorsements and audible characteristics.
  • ⚠️Pickup and amp model inferred from multiple sources documenting Meliora-era studio gear, but not tied to the solo section with 100% certainty.
  • ⚠️No evidence of time-based or modulation effects (delay, chorus, flanger, etc.) in the solo; only mild amp reverb and possible compression/boost.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The 'Cirice' solo tone is high-gain but not oversaturated, with a tight, modern metal low end, balanced mids (not scooped), and slightly boosted treble/presence for clarity. Ghost's typical gear (Marshall/Orange amps, Les Pauls) and the dry, focused production style of the era suggest minimal reverb and a clear, articulate lead sound.
