Notes & Caveats
- No direct studio photo or interview for this specific song section; gear and settings inferred from confirmed album-era equipment and typical band setup.
- Amp settings are adapted from 'Bulls in the Bronx' (same album, similar tone) and typical Dual Rectifier usage for this genre.
- No explicit pedalboard photo for this song; effects inferred from genre, band practices, and audible cues.
- Pedal models for boost/overdrive and noise gate are inferred from band’s known gear and genre conventions.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Pierce the Veil's riff tone on this track is modern, saturated, and tight, with a percussive attack and minimal ambience, typical of post-hardcore. Their usual Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier or similar high-gain amps favor high gain, moderate bass for tightness, balanced mids, and slightly boosted treble/presence for clarity in the mix.
