Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models used on the studio recording of 'Dying To Love' riff.
- All amp and pedal settings are estimated based on modern metal production conventions and typical Bad Omens gear from the 2020s.
- No explicit evidence of pedal use or amp model for this specific song/section; settings inferred from genre and production style.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section; only high-gain rhythm tone is clearly audible.
- If more specific studio or artist interview information becomes available, settings and gear should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Bad Omens' 'Dying To Love' riff features a modern, tight, and saturated metal tone with aggressive palm muting, clear articulation, and minimal ambience. Their typical gear (e.g., Mesa/EVH/Fractal, active pickups) and genre conventions point to high gain, tight bass, balanced mids, slightly boosted treble/presence, and a very dry mix.
