Notes & Caveats
- No explicit studio pedalboard or amp knob photo for 'Diabolical Majesty' solo; amp model, pickups, and guitar inferred from confirmed gear for this album/era.
- Amp settings estimated based on typical EVH 5150III usage in modern technical death metal and Davidson's genre; no direct numeric settings for this song's solo found.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects (delay, chorus, flanger, phaser) in the solo; solo is dry and focused on high-gain clarity.
- No explicit mention of effects loop usage for this recording.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Revocation's 'Diabolical Majesty' solo features a modern, extremely high-gain, articulate metal tone with tight low end, slightly scooped but present mids, and bright, cutting highs. Dave Davidson typically uses a boosted high-gain amp (often a Mesa/Boogie or EVH) with minimal reverb for maximum clarity and aggression, matching modern tech-death conventions.
