Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No explicit amp knob settings found in sources; values estimated based on Marshall JCM900 usage in early '90s thrash metal and typical Hermética tone.
  • ⚠️No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; all distortion is from amp.
  • ⚠️Exact pickup model not specified, but period-correct Ibanez Roadstar II models typically had high-output humbuckers in bridge.
  • ⚠️No evidence of reverb or time/modulation effects in the riff section; recording is very dry and direct.
  • ⚠️If future evidence of pedal use for this song/section emerges, update accordingly.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Hermética's 'Tú Eres Su Seguridad' features a classic late 80s/early 90s thrash tone: high gain, tight low end, scooped mids, and prominent treble/presence for aggression and clarity. The tone is dry and direct, matching genre and era conventions, with little to no reverb.
