Notes & Caveats
- Specific amp model and exact settings are not publicly disclosed; estimated based on genre and typical setups.
- Effects used are inferred from genre conventions and typical deathcore tones.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Angelmaker's 'This Used To Be Heaven' features a modern metal tone with extreme gain and a tight low end. The mids are slightly scooped to fit genre conventions, and the treble and presence are set to cut through the mix. Reverb is minimal to maintain a tight, aggressive sound.
