The Opeth guitar tone for “Ending credits”, dialed in for a Marshall MG30CFX with a Ibanez RG550. Studio version, Damnation (2003)
1980s PRS Custom 24 (neck pickup) into Fender Twin Reverb / Studio Fredman outboard preamp, dry studio ambiance

The original lead was tracked clean and warm through a Fender Twin, aiming for an Andy Latimer/Camel flute-like sustain. On the Marshall MG30CFX, use the Crunch channel with moderate gain to provide soft edge-of-breakup sustain without harsh solid-state clipping. Treble is tamed to 5 and mids kept full at 6 to smooth out the RG550's sharper V7 neck pickup.
