Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp knob settings for 'Disengage' found; settings estimated based on typical EVH 5150 III usage in deathcore and genre conventions.
- No pedal or effects use confirmed for the riff section; deathcore rhythm tones are typically dry and direct.
- All gear and pickup info confirmed for this song/era via Equipboard and official video, but no direct studio session notes available.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Suicide Silence's 'Disengage' features a modern deathcore tone: extremely high gain, tight low end, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, aggressive treble and presence for clarity, and a bone-dry, in-your-face sound typical of the genre and era. These settings reflect both Mark Heylmun's typical Mesa/Peavey amp choices and the production style of the late 2000s.
