Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No explicit amp model or pedal/effects chain is confirmed for the studio recording of 'Smokahontas' riff section. Guitar is confirmed via live video and Equipboard for this era.
  • ⚠️Amp settings are estimated based on typical metalcore tones with EMG pickups and high-gain amps from the 2010s.
  • ⚠️No pedal or effect model is confirmed in any source; effects are inferred based on genre and audio.
  • ⚠️If more specific studio documentation or interviews surface, settings and effects should be updated.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Attack Attack!'s 'Smokahontas' features a very high-gain, tight, modern metalcore tone typical of late-2000s Line 6 or Peavey 5150/6505 amps, with scooped but not hollow mids, tight bass, aggressive treble/presence for clarity, and a bone-dry mix with no audible reverb.
