Original Recording
Studio recording, 2022-2023 era. Guitarist IV is confirmed to use the Jackson 8 String Monarkh with EMG 909s for 'Take Me Back To Eden' riff sections. Amp is a digital modeler (Quad Cortex) using high-gain amp models, likely Bogner Überschall or Archetype Gojira plugin. Effects and pedal use inferred from studio/live overlap and pedalboard photos; settings estimated due to lack of explicit studio numbers.

Notes & Caveats
- No explicit numeric amp settings for the studio recording found; settings estimated based on typical modern metal amp modeling practices and cited amp models.
- Pedalboard photos confirm presence of several pedals, but exact pedal settings and chain order for this specific recording are not fully documented.
- Some gear (e.g., Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Archetype Gojira plugin) is inferred from strong consensus and interviews but not officially confirmed for the exact studio session.
- Effects are inferred from both pedalboard photos and what is audibly present in the riff section; no time-based or modulation effects are clearly audible in the riff.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Sleep Token's 'Take Me Back To Eden' riff uses a modern djent/metal tone: very high gain, tight low end, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, bright but not harsh treble, and boosted presence for clarity. The tone is very dry and percussive, with no audible amp reverb, matching both genre and their typical production approach.
