Notes & Caveats
- No explicit numeric amp settings for 'Far Away' riff found; settings estimated based on typical Bogner Shiva use in modern metal and genre/era.
- No direct evidence of pedal or effect use for this specific song/section; effects chain inferred from genre and audible characteristics.
- Guitar and amp models confirmed for Lacuna Coil's heavy riff sound, but not tied to this exact recording session.
- No explicit pickup selector position found; bridge pickup inferred based on typical metal riffing and pickup models.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff in 'Far Away' by Lacuna features a modern, tight high-gain tone with clear note separation and moderate midrange, typical of post-2000s alternative/modern metal. The bass is controlled to avoid muddiness, mids are balanced (not scooped), treble and presence are pushed for clarity, and reverb is minimal for a dry, punchy mix.
