Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp knob settings for 'Deluge' found in sources; settings estimated based on typical Orange Dual Dark 100 high-gain metal usage and genre conventions.
- Pedal usage for the riff section not confirmed in any source; effects chain inferred from genre and audio.
- Guitar model inferred from band’s known gear for the Dig Deep era and Fishman Fluence pickup evidence.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section; only high-gain and noise gate likely.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. After the Burial's 'Deluge' features a modern djent/tech-metal tone: extremely high gain for tight, percussive chugs; bass kept tight to avoid flub; slightly scooped but not hollow mids; aggressive treble and boosted presence for clarity and attack; bone-dry with no reverb, matching genre and era production.
