Notes & Caveats
- No direct amp knob settings for Peavey 5150 found for this specific song; settings estimated based on typical metalcore usage and Peavey 5150 characteristics.
- Pedalboard sources list all pedals used on Sempiternal, but do not specify which are engaged for this song/section; included only those effects that are clearly audible in the riff section.
- No evidence of modulation (chorus, flanger, phaser) in the riff section; only noise gate, boost/overdrive, and minimal reverb/delay are included.
- Pickup and amp confirmed for studio recording; live rig may differ.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Bring Me The Horizon's 'Sempiternal' era tones are modern metal: high gain, tight low end, and balanced mids for clarity. The riff is aggressive but not overly scooped, with enough presence and treble to cut through, and minimal reverb for a dry, punchy mix typical of 2010s metalcore production.
