Notes & Caveats
- Exact amp settings are estimated based on typical settings for the Marshall JCM800 2203 in high-gain metal contexts.
- Specific pedal models and settings are inferred from the genre and era, as exact details are not available.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Satyricon's 'The Pentagram Burns' features a modern black metal tone with high gain and a tight low end, typical of the genre. The mids are slightly scooped to create a more aggressive sound, with treble and presence settings that ensure clarity and cut through the mix. Reverb is minimal to maintain a dry and direct tone.
