Studio recording, 2022-2023 era. Guitar tech and multiple sources confirm use of Jackson 8-string with Bare Knuckle Ragnarok bridge pickup for 'The Summoning' heavy sections. Amp is a Quad Cortex modeler, with community consensus on Archetype Gojira or Soldano SLO-100 crunch/lead channel for high-gain tones. Pedalboard includes REVV G3 Distortion and Electro-Harmonix POG3, but only G3 is relevant for heavy solo tone.

Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No official amp model or exact knob settings published for studio recording; settings estimated based on Neural DSP Quad Cortex usage, genre, and community consensus.
  • ⚠️Pedalboard includes Electro-Harmonix POG3 and Spline Labs Cathedral Fuzz, but only REVV G3 is relevant for high-gain solo tone.
  • ⚠️No explicit mention of delay, chorus, or reverb pedals for the heavy solo; reverb is likely from amp/modeler.
  • ⚠️Amp model is inferred from multiple sources citing Quad Cortex and Archetype Gojira/Soldano SLO-100 models for Sleep Token's heavy tones.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo in 'The Summoning' features a saturated, modern high-gain lead tone with tight low end, balanced mids, and enough treble/presence for clarity without harshness. Sleep Token's guitarists favor modern metal amp models (like the EVH 5150 or similar), typically keeping reverb minimal for tightness and using moderate bass/mids for mix clarity.
