Notes & Caveats
- No explicit studio amp/pedal settings for 'Diabolical Majesty' riff section found; amp and pedal choices inferred from multiple era-matched sources.
- Amp settings are estimated based on typical EVH 5150III usage in modern death metal and Davidson's genre, not direct quotes.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section; dry, high-gain tone is genre-typical.
- Pedal use (Maxon OD808) is confirmed for live/tour, but not explicitly for this studio recording; included with moderate confidence.
- No evidence of effects loop or amp-based reverb/delay/chorus/flanger/phaser for rhythm/riff section.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Revocation's 'Diabolical Majesty' features a modern, ultra-tight, high-gain tone typical of recent tech-death/thrash, likely using a boosted 5150/6505 or similar amp with mids slightly scooped, bass tight, and high presence for clarity. The production is very dry with no audible reverb, matching genre conventions.
