Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct studio photo or interview confirming exact guitar for 'Caraphernelia' riff; ESP LTD EC-1000 with EMG 81/60 inferred from band era and typical usage.
  • ⚠️No numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on Marshall JMP 1959 Super Lead typical settings for post-hardcore/metal in 2010s.
  • ⚠️No explicit pedal model confirmed for studio recording; fuzz/overdrive inferred from Equipboard and genre, but exact pedal model for riff not confirmed.
  • ⚠️No evidence of time-based or modulation effects (delay, chorus, flanger, etc.) in riff section; only gain effects and minimal reverb are included.
  • ⚠️Pickup selector position inferred from genre and tone; not directly confirmed.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Pierce the Veil's 'Caraphernelia' features a modern post-hardcore tone: high gain for saturation and sustain, tight bass to avoid muddiness, balanced mids for punch without scooping, bright treble and boosted presence for clarity and attack, and minimal reverb for a tight, aggressive mix typical of 2010s production.
