Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models for this specific recording; all gear and settings are inferred from genre, era, and common scene standards for early 2000s metalcore.
- No evidence of pedals or effects beyond amp distortion; no delay, chorus, flanger, or other time/modulation effects are audible in the riff section.
- Settings are estimated based on typical Peavey 5150 usage in metalcore recordings of the era.
- If new evidence emerges (e.g., studio photos, interviews), update gear and settings accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. 7 Angels 7 Plagues' 'A Farewell to a Perfect Score' features a tight, aggressive early-2000s metalcore tone: high gain for saturation, tight bass, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, and clear but not harsh treble/presence. Reverb is essentially absent, matching the dry, punchy production of the era and genre.
