Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source confirms the amp model or pedal usage for the studio recording of this song's riff section.
  • ⚠️Amp settings are taken from a forum post referencing MCR tones in general, not specifically this song; settings are plausible for early 2000s punk/post-hardcore.
  • ⚠️No explicit mention of pedals or effects for the riff section; no audible modulation or time-based effects in the recording.
  • ⚠️Guitar model confirmed for album era, but pickup brand/model not specified—assumed stock humbuckers.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The tone is aggressive and saturated but not ultra-modern, with tight lows, forward mids, and a bright, cutting edge typical of early 2000s post-hardcore. MCR's debut used Marshall-style amps with high gain, moderate bass, slightly boosted mids, and high treble/presence for clarity, with minimal reverb for a dry, punchy mix.
