Notes & Caveats
- No explicit numeric amp settings found; settings estimated based on Randall T2 usage in 2000s thrash metal and typical genre/era conventions.
- No direct confirmation of pickup selector position, but bridge pickup is standard for metal solos of this style.
- No evidence of pedals or effects used in the solo section; Randall T2 provides all gain/distortion.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects (delay, chorus, flanger, etc.) in the solo; solo is dry and direct.
- No evidence of effects loop or studio post-processing on the solo guitar tone.
- Pickup model inferred from typical Jackson KV2 spec for this era; not directly cited for this exact recording.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Evile's 'Enter the Grave' solo section features a very saturated, tight, and aggressive modern thrash tone reminiscent of 80s Metallica, with scooped mids, tight bass, biting treble, and little to no reverb. The band typically used high-gain amps like Peavey 5150/6505 or Mesa/Boogie, dialed for clarity and attack, matching genre conventions.
