Notes & Caveats
- No source provides explicit knob settings for the solo section of 'Omertá'; all settings are estimated based on typical Mesa/Boogie Mark IV usage in 2000s metal and Lamb of God's known studio rig.
- No direct evidence of pedals or effects used for the solo; no delay, reverb, or modulation effects are audible in the solo section.
- Exact pickup model (Seymour Duncan vs. DiMarzio) not confirmed for this recording; both are plausible for Mark Morton's Jackson Dominion at the time.
- No evidence of effects loop or amp-based effects used in the solo section.
- If more specific studio documentation emerges, settings and gear may need revision.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Lamb of God in the Ashes of the Wake era used Mesa/Boogie Rectifiers with high gain, tight low end, slightly scooped but present mids, and clear treble/presence for articulation; the solo section is dry and aggressive, matching modern metal conventions.
