Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models for 'Of the Abyss' riff section. Gear and settings are estimated based on Lorna Shore's typical studio setup, genre, and era.
- No numeric amp or pedal settings found in sources; settings estimated using modern metal tone conventions and Neural DSP amp modeler defaults.
- No pedalboard or studio photo for this song/section; all effects inferred from genre and audio.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in riff section; only high-gain, noise-gated rhythm tone is audible.
- If more specific information becomes available (e.g., official rig rundown, studio interview), update this entry.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Lorna Shore's 'Of the Abyss' features a modern deathcore tone: extremely high gain, tight but not boomy bass, slightly scooped but present mids, aggressive treble and presence for clarity and bite, and a bone-dry sound with no reverb. These settings reflect genre conventions and the band's known use of amps like the EVH 5150 or Mesa Dual Rectifier, dialed for maximum aggression and tightness.
