Notes & Caveats
- No direct photo/video of Boundaries' pedalboard for this exact Audiotree session, but Peavey 5150 II amp is confirmed as their main live amp for this era.
- No explicit numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on typical Peavey 5150 II settings for modern metal and live performance context.
- No evidence of additional pedals (boost, noise gate, etc.) for the riff section in available sources; only amp distortion used.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section; tone is dry and focused.
- Pickup choice inferred from genre, tone, and typical usage of EMG 81 in bridge for metal rhythm.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Boundaries' Audiotree Live tone is extremely high-gain, tight, and modern, with a focused low end, slightly scooped but not hollow mids, and aggressive top end for articulation. The reverb is essentially dry, matching modern metalcore conventions and the band's typical amp settings (often 5150/6505-style heads).
