Notes & Caveats
- No direct studio photo or interview confirms the exact guitar for this song, but ESP LTD EC-1000 with EMG 81/60 is highly likely based on era and live evidence.
- No specific amp knob settings found; values estimated based on typical Peavey 6505+ usage in 2000s metalcore and genre conventions.
- Pedalboard evidence is from live and general era, not specifically tied to the studio recording of this song.
- No explicit pickup selector statement found; bridge pickup inferred from tone and genre.
- Reverb setting is estimated low, as metalcore rhythm tones are typically dry/tight.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Bring Me The Horizon's early sound (especially on 'Top 10 staTues tHat CriEd bloOd') is defined by extreme high-gain, tight low end, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, and aggressive, clear top end—typical of mid-2000s metalcore. The tone is very dry and direct, with little to no reverb, matching the production style and genre conventions of the era.
