Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- Specific amp settings are estimated based on typical clean tones for the ADA MP-1 preamp.
- Exact pedal models and settings are not specified in available sources; inferred based on common practices.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Mark Tremonti's tone on 'My Own Prison' is classic 90s post-grunge: moderately high gain for thick crunch, balanced EQ with slightly forward mids for punch, and minimal reverb for a dry, direct sound. These settings reflect his Mesa/Marshall-style amp choices and the genre's production values.
