Notes & Caveats
- No direct source found for Strychnia's exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for this recording.
- All gear and settings estimated based on Pantera's original 'Slaughtered' tone, genre conventions, and typical modern metal cover practices.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section; settings and effects list inferred from audio and genre.
- If more information about Strychnia's studio setup becomes available, these values should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Strychnia's cover of 'Slaughtered' aims for a modern, ultra-tight death/groove metal tone reminiscent of Pantera but with even more aggression—requiring extreme gain, tight bass, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, and bright, cutting treble and presence. The tone is very dry and direct, with no audible reverb.
