Notes
Studio recording, 2018. Kristan Dawson used his Schecter C-1 SLS with Fishman Fluence pickups and Neural DSP Quad Cortex for tones. No evidence of traditional tube amp or specific pedalboard; all tones likely from Quad Cortex. No explicit mention of pedals or amp model for 'Black Flame' riff section.
