Notes & Caveats
- Exact amp settings are estimated based on typical usage of the Marshall JCM 800 2203 in death metal contexts.
- Specific pedal models and settings are inferred from common practices and may not reflect the exact gear used in the recording.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Death's 'Lack of Comprehension' features a high-gain, tight, and aggressive tone typical of early 90s death metal. The mids are slightly scooped to enhance the heaviness, while the treble and presence are set to cut through the mix. Reverb is minimal to maintain clarity and precision.
