Notes & Caveats
- No explicit confirmation of exact guitar model or pickup for the solo section; Les Paul Custom with humbuckers inferred from Ghost's typical studio gear.
- No direct source for amp knob settings; values estimated based on Marshall JCM800 usage in modern metal/rock and typical Ghost tones.
- No pedalboard photo or studio notes for this specific recording; effects inferred from audio and common Ghost practices.
- Delay is clearly audible in the solo but no specific pedal model is confirmed; Boss DD-3 is a likely candidate based on Equipboard and Ghost's era-typical choices.
- Settings are estimated based on genre, amp, and era due to lack of explicit numeric values in sources.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo in 'Lachryma' by Ghost features a saturated, singing lead tone typical of their modern hard rock/metal style, likely using a mid-gain British-style amp (like a Marshall or Orange) with forward mids, tight bass, and enough treble/presence for clarity. Reverb is present but subtle, matching the band's polished yet organic production.
