Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source confirms the exact amp or pedal models used on the studio recording of 'Yeah Boy and Doll Face'.
  • ⚠️Pedal and amp info is inferred from Tony Perry's live/touring rigs and typical genre conventions for 2000s post-hardcore.
  • ⚠️Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical Marshall/Mesa high-gain amp settings for this style.
  • ⚠️No studio photos or interviews confirm the exact signal chain for this specific song.
  • ⚠️No explicit pickup selector position is stated, but bridge humbucker is highly likely for the riff's tone.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Pierce the Veil's 'Yeah Boy and Doll Face' riff section features a saturated, modern post-hardcore tone with tight low end, balanced mids, and enough treble/presence for clarity. Their typical Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier or similar high-gain amp settings favor a focused, articulate distortion with minimal reverb for punch and mix clarity.
