Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️Specific amp settings are estimated based on typical usage for this genre and era.
  • ⚠️Exact pickup models are not specified; stock Epiphone humbuckers are assumed.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Electric Wizard's 'Funeralopolis' features a thick, sludgy tone typical of doom metal, achieved with high gain and boosted bass. The mids are relatively neutral to maintain heaviness without losing clarity, while treble is dialed back for a darker sound. Presence is kept neutral, and reverb is minimal to keep the tone tight and focused.
