ok, here goes.
'To achieve the ball-busting metal tone required for this track we recommend you grab any guitar sporting humbuckers (and a super low action), select the bridge pickup and keep your volume and tone full to maximise the guitar's output level. Dial in plenty of overdrive on your amp, and prepare to shred...'
Gain - 10
Treble - 6
Mid - 4
Bass - 6
Reverb - 2
there ya go :)

youre a genious man. it sounds really good. i knew frank used wicked gain because i saw him play the lick from to the end with one hand, way cool. do you know if most of their stuff is analog or amp effects?

From what I've seen Frank uses primarily a Boss Blues Driver and a Way Huge Swollen Pickle Fuzz, Epiphone LP standard (modified) and plays through an Orange Rockverb 100 (Frank is a listed artist on Orange Amps website). Ray primarily uses a Gibsion Standard Custom through a Marshall JCM800 and/or Plexi with a Way Huge Green Rhino. I know they changed things up a little on Black Parade and again on Danger Days, and added in some Strymon stuff.

Boss Blues Driver, Way Huge Swollen Pickle Fuzz, and possibly some Strymon pedals. Please note that the exact combination of effects may vary depending on the era or specific songs.
