Notes & Caveats
- No sources confirm the exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models used on the riff section of 'Serenity' by Her Last Sight.
- All amp and pedal settings are estimated based on genre (symphonic/power metal), era (2010s+), and typical production practices.

- No evidence for modulation or time-based effects in the riff section; only distortion/overdrive is inferred.
- If isolated tracks or official rig rundown become available, update with confirmed gear/settings.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Her Last Sight's 'Serenity' riff features a modern metalcore tone: saturated high gain, tight low end, slightly scooped but present mids, clear treble, and moderate presence for articulation. The reverb is minimal to keep the sound tight and aggressive, matching genre and era conventions.
