Notes & Caveats
- No explicit studio amp model or settings for this song's recording found; amp settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical post-hardcore tones.
- Pedals listed are from Tony Perry's verified rig rundowns and are likely but not 100% confirmed for this specific recording.
- No explicit pickup selector position found; bridge humbucker inferred from tone and genre.
- No pedal knob settings found; only pedal types and likely usage inferred.
- No explicit effects loop usage or amp effects confirmed for studio recording.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Pierce the Veil's 'Today I Saw the Whole World' features a modern, saturated high-gain tone with tight low end, present but not scooped mids, and cutting treble for clarity. Their typical use of Mesa/Boogie amps and genre conventions suggest these settings, with minimal reverb for a punchy, in-your-face mix.
