Notes & Caveats
- No official studio amp knob settings found; settings estimated based on typical Peavey 5150 II usage in modern metalcore and genre/era.
- Guitar model inferred from band/album era and known gear; not confirmed for this exact song but highly likely.
- No evidence of additional pedals or modulation/time-based effects in riff section; TS808 confirmed as boost, Boss RV-6 reverb mentioned for ambient parts but likely not used in main riff.
- Amp/cab sim via Neural DSP Quad Cortex likely used in studio, but core tone is 5150 II + TS808.
- Pickup type and selector inferred from genre and typical usage for heavy riffing.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. LANDMVRKS' 'Lost in a Wave' features a modern metalcore/djent tone: extremely high gain, tight low end, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, bright but not harsh treble, and boosted presence for clarity. The tone is very dry, with no audible amp reverb, matching modern production trends.
