Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
  • ⚠️No direct source specifies clean amp settings or pedal use for 'Carrion' clean section; settings estimated based on typical Peavey 6505 clean channel use in metalcore and genre/era conventions.
  • ⚠️No evidence of chorus, delay, or modulation effects in clean section; only slight reverb/ambience is audible.
  • ⚠️No evidence of alternate guitar or amp for clean section; assumed same ESP LTD EC-1000 and Peavey 6505 as used for heavy sections.
  • ⚠️No explicit pickup position stated; neck pickup inferred for warmer clean tone.
  • ⚠️No evidence of effects loop or pedalboard use for clean section.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Parkway Drive's 'Carrion' features a modern metalcore tone: very high gain for tight, saturated rhythm, bass controlled for punch without mud, mids slightly scooped but not extreme, treble and presence boosted for clarity and attack, and a dry, in-your-face mix typical of mid-2000s metalcore production.
