Notes & Caveats
- No direct numeric amp settings found for 'Teras' studio recording; settings estimated based on Peavey 6505+ typical metal usage and genre/era.
- Guitar and amp confirmed for Monolith era and 'Teras' video, but no explicit mention of pedals or effects for this specific recording.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section; tone is dry and tight.
- Pickup model inferred from ESP Alexi-600 Scythe stock configuration for the era.
- No evidence of effects loop or amp reverb used in the riff section.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Sylosis's 'Teras' features a modern, extremely tight and aggressive metal tone with high gain, controlled low end, slightly scooped but present mids, and bright, articulate highs. The band typically uses ENGL or Peavey 5150/6505 amps with minimal reverb for a dry, punchy mix, matching modern metal production standards.
