Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp or pedal settings found for 'Eaten (Live)' riff section; settings estimated based on Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier typical use in 2000s death metal.
- No pedalboard or effects chain confirmed for this specific live performance; no evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section.
- Pickup model not specified for ES Guitars ES-86; high-output humbuckers inferred from genre and era.
- If more precise pedal or amp settings are found in future, update this entry.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Bloodbath's 'Eaten (Live)' features a modern Swedish death metal tone: extremely high gain, tight low end, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, clear but not harsh highs, and a dry, in-your-face mix. These settings reflect the typical Peavey 5150/6505 or Mesa Dual Rectifier approach favored by the band, with minimal reverb for maximum aggression and clarity.
