Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct studio documentation of exact pedal or amp settings for this solo; settings estimated based on forum posts, genre conventions, and era.
  • ⚠️No explicit pedalboard photo or interview for this specific solo; effects inferred from audio and typical pop-punk studio setups.
  • ⚠️No evidence of modulation or delay effects in the solo; solo is dry except for light amp reverb.
  • ⚠️Forum settings (Source 1) are user estimates, not official band settings.
  • ⚠️Guitar and amp models are inferred from Equipboard and genre/era, not confirmed by studio photo for this song section.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. New Found Glory's 'My Friends Over You' solo features a tight, saturated pop-punk lead tone typical of early 2000s Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier or Marshall JCM2000s with moderate mids, slightly boosted treble and presence for cut, and minimal reverb as per genre/era production.
