Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No explicit studio documentation for 'Scars' session; PRS CE 24 and Peavey 6505+ are listed as primary studio gear for I Prevail, but not directly tied to this song.
  • ⚠️No numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on typical Peavey 6505+ metalcore usage and genre/era conventions.
  • ⚠️No pedal or effects information found for the riff section; no audible modulation or time-based effects in the main riff.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from genre and tone (bridge humbucker for tight, aggressive rhythm).
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. I Prevail's 'Scars' features a modern metalcore tone: extreme gain for tight, saturated chugs, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, tight bass to avoid muddiness, and boosted treble/presence for clarity and aggression. The production is very dry, with little to no amp reverb, matching genre conventions and the band's typical tone.
