Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms exact amp or pedal settings for this specific song/riff; settings estimated based on typical Peavey 5150 II usage in 2000s metalcore.
- No explicit pedalboard or effects chain for this recording found; pedal/effect info inferred from genre, era, and audio.
- Guitar and pickups inferred from Equipboard and typical studio rig for Eric Lambert during 'Witness' era; not directly confirmed for this track.
- No evidence of additional effects (delay, chorus, etc.) in the riff section; only high-gain rhythm tone is clearly audible.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Blessthefall's tone on this track is modern metalcore: high gain, tight low end, slightly scooped mids, and clear but not harsh highs. The production is dry (no reverb), and the presence is boosted for clarity and aggression, consistent with late 2000s metalcore conventions and the band's known use of Mesa/Peavey high-gain amps.
