Notes & Caveats
- No official amp knob settings published; values estimated based on Neural DSP Archetype Gojira/Soldano SLO-100 typical metal settings and genre conventions.
- No explicit pedal use for riff section; all effects and amp models handled in Quad Cortex.
- Pickup position inferred from tone and genre; bridge pickup is standard for heavy riffing.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in riff section; all effects listed are based on source confirmation and audio analysis.
- If new information emerges about specific plugin presets or settings, update accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The Summoning's riff tone is ultra-modern, tight, and saturated, typical of Sleep Token's djent/progressive metal style, with high gain, controlled bass for tightness, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, clear but not harsh treble, and a touch of presence for clarity. Reverb is minimal, as is standard for modern, punchy metal production.
