Notes & Caveats
- No specific numeric amp settings found for 'Pravus (15th Anniversary Remastered 2023 Edition)'; settings estimated based on typical Meshuggah Mark IV rhythm tones from cited era and genre.
- No evidence of pedals or effects used in the riff section; all gain/distortion from amp.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects (delay, chorus, flanger, etc.) in riff section; omitted from effects_used.
- Pickup and amp model confirmed for Meshuggah rhythm tone in this era, but not explicitly tied to 'Pravus' 2023 remaster session.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Meshuggah's 'Pravus' tone is extremely high-gain, tight, and percussive, achieved with boosted mids (not scooped), controlled bass for tightness, and enhanced presence for clarity—typical of their Axe-Fx/Line 6 digital rigs and 8-string guitars. The mix is bone-dry with no reverb, maximizing punch and articulation for djent/progressive metal.
