Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp model or pedalboard details for this specific live performance or song section found in sources.
- Amp settings are estimated based on typical modern metal live tones with active pickups and high-gain amps.
- No pedal or effect model is confirmed for this song/section; effects listed are based on genre/era conventions and audible characteristics.
- If more specific rig rundown or pedalboard photo for this live era emerges, settings may need revision.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Bad Omens' live tone for 'The Worst In Me' is extremely high-gain and tight, with a modern metal low end (controlled bass), balanced mids (not scooped), and enough treble/presence for clarity and attack. The tone is very dry, with little to no reverb, matching modern metalcore conventions and their typical amp modeling setups.
