Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️Specific guitar model and pickup type are not available in the provided sources.
  • ⚠️Exact amp settings are estimated based on typical settings for achieving a heavy fuzz tone.
  • ⚠️Guitar knob settings are estimated based on achieving a heavy fuzz tone.
  • ⚠️Pickup selector position is inferred based on common practice for heavy fuzz tones.
  • ⚠️Effects pedal settings are estimated based on typical usage for heavy fuzz tones.
  • ⚠️Signal chain order is inferred based on common practice for heavy fuzz tones.
  • ⚠️Effect timing is inferred based on common practice for heavy fuzz tones.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Frayle's 'Heretic' features a heavy, doom-influenced tone with high gain and a thick low end, typical of the doom/stoner genre. The mids are balanced to avoid the scooped sound, while treble and presence are moderate to maintain a dark, sludgy character. Reverb is minimal to keep the sound tight.
