Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source confirms exact guitar or amp model for this solo; inference based on band/era/genre and typical gear.
  • ⚠️Barber Direct Drive pedal confirmed for solo section by player covering the part, not by official band member.
  • ⚠️No numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on typical high-gain metal amp settings for this genre/era.
  • ⚠️No evidence of additional pedals (delay, reverb, modulation) in sources; delay is clearly audible in the solo and included as 'Delay pedal (model unknown)'.
  • ⚠️Pickup and knob settings inferred from typical progressive metal solo tones.
  • ⚠️If more precise studio documentation emerges, update with exact models/settings.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo section features a modern, articulate high-gain lead tone typical of Ne Obliviscaris, with tight low end, balanced mids, and enough treble/presence for clarity without harshness. Reverb is kept minimal for tightness, matching genre and production conventions of mid-2010s progressive metal.
