Notes & Caveats
- Specific pedal models and settings are not explicitly documented; inferred based on typical gear used by Brad Delson during the era.
- Exact amp settings are estimated based on common practices for achieving similar tones.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Linkin Park's 'With You' features a modern metal tone typical of the early 2000s, characterized by high gain and a slightly scooped midrange for clarity and aggression. The bass is moderately tight, and the treble and presence are set to ensure the guitar cuts through the mix. Minimal reverb is used to maintain a dry, punchy sound.
