Studio recording, 2005 (from 'All We Know Is Falling' album). Guitarist Taylor York's studio guitars for this era included custom Fender Jazzmasters with humbuckers. The amp used in studio was a modded Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 100, as per later interviews referencing gear continuity. No explicit pedal or effect chain for this specific song/section found in sources.
