Notes & Caveats
- No direct studio documentation of exact amp or pedal settings for this solo; gear and settings estimated based on genre, era, and artist's known preferences.
- No explicit mention of effects pedals used in the studio for this song/solo; delay is included due to its clear audibility in the solo section.
- Settings are inferred from typical Peavey 5150 usage in 2000s deathcore/metalcore and from user discussions referencing the band's tone.
- Pickup and guitar model confirmed for era and artist, but not for specific solo session.
- No evidence of modulation or wah effects in the solo; only noise gate and delay are included.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo section of 'In Dying Days' features a saturated, modern metal tone with tight low end, slightly scooped but present mids, and bright, articulate highs typical of mid-2000s deathcore. As Blood Runs Black often used high-gain amps (like Peavey 5150/6505) with minimal reverb and boosted presence for clarity in fast, technical passages.
