The Summoning Riff Guitar Tone Settings — Sleep Token

Original Recording
Studio recording, 2022-2023 era. Guitarist IV uses this 8-string Jackson with Fishman Fluence Modern pickups for the main riff and clean sections. Amp tone is modeled via Quad Cortex, with Neural DSP Archetype Gojira or Soldano SLO-100 crunch channel as the probable base. Settings are estimated due to lack of explicit numbers for the clean section. Focus is on the studio recording, not live.

Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No explicit numeric amp settings for the clean section found in sources; settings estimated based on typical clean tones from Soldano SLO-100 and Neural DSP Archetype Gojira models.
- Pedal and effect model details not specified in sources; flanger is included due to explicit mention and clear audibility.
- Pickup position inferred from typical clean tone practice and tone descriptors; not directly confirmed.
- Studio vs live gear is sometimes conflated in sources; this profile focuses on the studio recording.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The Summoning's riff features a modern djent/metal tone: very high gain, tight low end, balanced mids (not scooped), clear but not harsh treble, and moderate presence for articulation. Sleep Token's guitarists use extended range guitars and digital amps (like Axe-Fx/Quad Cortex) with minimal reverb for a dry, punchy mix.
