Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar or pickup used for the solo section of 'From Womb to Waste'; inferred from artist's main studio gear for the 2012 album.
- No numeric amp settings found; estimated based on typical Peavey 6505+ settings for modern death metal and genre/era conventions.
- 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 rack effects for the solo section.
- No evidence of alternate pickup selector positions; bridge pickup inferred for maximum articulation and cut.
- No evidence of reverb (amp or pedal) in the solo; dry tone is characteristic of Dying Fetus studio solos.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Dying Fetus's 'From Womb to Waste' solo section features an ultra-saturated, tight, and articulate modern death metal tone typical of their Mesa/Boogie Rectifier/5150 usage: extreme gain, tight low end, slightly forward mids for note definition, bright but not harsh treble, boosted presence for clarity, and totally dry (no reverb) for maximum attack.
