Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct numeric amp settings found for studio recording; settings estimated based on Budda Superdrive 80 typical usage for post-hardcore/mathcore and genre/era conventions.
  • ⚠️Pedal order and exact knob settings inferred from live/studio photos and typical usage; no direct studio session notes available.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from tone and genre; bridge pickup is standard for aggressive riff sections.
  • ⚠️No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff; baritone Les Paul and Budda Superdrive 80 are confirmed for this era.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Thomas Erak's tone on 'F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.' is high-gain, tight, and articulate, with clear note separation and a modern post-hardcore attack. The settings reflect his typical Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier use: high gain, tight bass, balanced mids (not scooped), bright treble, boosted presence for clarity, and a dry, in-your-face sound with little to no reverb.
