Recording notes

From Elegy (2022). Elegy is the fourth studio album by American deathcore band Shadow of Intent. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, a saturated death-metal pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C).
