Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp knob settings found for 'All My Friends'; settings estimated based on typical Peavey 5150 usage in metalcore and genre/era.
- Neil Westfall states he did not use pedals before 'Common Courtesy'; Tube Screamer may not have been used on this track.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects; no audible delay, chorus, or reverb beyond possible light amp reverb.
- Pickup choice inferred from genre and typical rhythm tone; bridge humbucker is standard for this style.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. A Day to Remember's 'All My Friends' riff features a modern, tight, high-gain tone typical of their post-hardcore/metalcore style, likely using a boosted 5150/6505-type amp with moderate bass for punch, balanced mids (not scooped), bright but not harsh treble, and minimal reverb for a dry, aggressive mix.
