Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact amp model or plugin used for the riff section; settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical Mick Gordon production style.
- No specific numeric amp settings found; values are inferred from metal genre conventions and forum advice for DOOM tones.
- Pedal/effect chain is partially inferred from Equipboard and audio analysis; no direct studio documentation available.
- No evidence of live amp use; likely all digital/amp sim for studio recording.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. This riff section features a modern, ultra-high-gain djent/metal tone: extremely saturated, tight low end, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, aggressive treble and presence for cut, and a bone-dry mix with no audible reverb. These settings match the genre conventions and the production style of the DOOM soundtrack.
