Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No official amp knob settings found; settings estimated based on Peavey 5150/6505 typical metal usage and forum discussion.
  • ⚠️Pedal settings for Tube Screamer not specified; 'crank the tone' and 'used as a boost' inferred from source.
  • ⚠️No delay or modulation effects audible or cited for solo section; only minimal reverb present.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from genre, artist, and typical solo tone; not explicitly stated in sources.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Assuming 'Scream Aim Fire' refers to Bullet For My Valentine, the solo section features a tight, modern metal tone with high gain, slightly scooped mids, tight bass, and bright treble/presence for clarity and cut. Reverb is minimal for a dry, in-your-face lead sound typical of late 2000s metalcore.
