Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct source confirms amp model or pedal/effect use for the clean riff section of 'Yeah Boy and Doll Face'.
- Guitar model (Fender Blacktop Jaguar HH) is confirmed for Tony Perry but not explicitly tied to this song's studio clean tone.
- No pedalboard or amp settings for the studio recording era (2007) found; settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical post-hardcore clean tones.
- No evidence of chorus, delay, or modulation effects in the clean riff section; only subtle reverb is audible (likely studio plate or room).
- All effects and amp settings are estimated based on critical listening and genre conventions.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Pierce the Veil's 'Yeah Boy and Doll Face' riff uses a modern post-hardcore tone: saturated but tight high-gain, moderately scooped mids, bright treble for articulation, and minimal reverb for a dry, punchy mix. These settings reflect Vic Fuentes' typical use of Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifiers or similar amps in this era and genre.
