Notes & Caveats
- Specific pedal models and settings are not explicitly documented; estimations are based on typical gear used during the era.
- Exact amp settings are inferred from general tone characteristics and may not reflect precise studio configurations.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Coheed and Cambria's 'Everything Evil' features a high-gain, modern rock tone typical of early 2000s post-hardcore. The settings reflect a balance of clarity and aggression, with moderate bass and mids to maintain punch and definition, while reverb is kept low for a tight sound.
