Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source confirms the exact amp or pedal models for the studio recording of 'I'd Do Anything' riff section.
  • ⚠️Guitar and amp inferred from music video, live photos, and typical pop-punk studio setups of the era.
  • ⚠️Amp settings estimated based on Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 typical pop-punk usage and genre conventions.
  • ⚠️No evidence of pedals used for the riff section; effects inferred from audio and genre.
  • ⚠️No explicit pickup selector position found; bridge pickup is standard for this tone and genre.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Simple Plan's 'I'd Do Anything' features a tight, modern pop-punk rhythm tone typical of early 2000s productions: high gain for palm-muted riffs, moderate bass for punch without mud, mids set flat for clarity, and slightly boosted treble/presence for cut. Reverb is minimal, as the guitars are dry and upfront in the mix.
