Notes

Studio recording for 'Universal Language' (2011). Angel Vivaldi has stated in interviews and rig rundowns that he used the Axe-FX Ultra with the Peavey 6505 amp model and a 4x12 cab sim for the bulk of his records during this era, including 'A Martian Winter'. The guitar is a custom Ibanez RGD2127Z 7-string with DiMarzio D Activator pickups. Effects are primarily from the Axe-FX, not pedals. Settings are estimated based on typical 6505 high-gain lead tones and genre conventions.
