Studio recording, 1993. The classic 'chainsaw' tone was achieved by running the guitar into a Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal (all knobs maxed), into a Peavey Bandit 112 amp. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main riff. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical HM-2/Peavey Bandit usage for Swedish death metal.

Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No explicit amp EQ settings found for 'Eyemaster' by Entombed; settings estimated based on genre, era, and known HM-2/Peavey Bandit usage.
  • ⚠️No direct studio documentation for this specific song; gear and settings inferred from multiple interviews and gear rundowns for 'Wolverine Blues' era.
  • ⚠️No evidence of any time-based or modulation effects on the main riff; only distortion pedal (Boss HM-2 or clone) is used.
  • ⚠️TC Electronic Eyemaster is a modern HM-2 clone; original recording used Boss HM-2 pedal.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Entombed's 'Eyemaster' is a classic example of the Swedish death metal 'buzzsaw' tone, achieved with extreme gain (Boss HM-2 pedal maxed), scooped mids, tight bass, and biting treble/presence; the tone is very dry with no reverb, matching both the genre and the band's typical production style of the early 90s.
