Notes & Caveats
- Exact amp knob settings are not shown in official interviews; settings are averaged from forum photo evidence and typical JCM800 usage for this genre/era.
- No evidence of pedals used in the riff section; some sources mention Tube Screamer for live, but studio recording appears to be amp-only for main riff.
- Presence and reverb settings are estimated based on typical JCM800 studio use and genre conventions.
- Pickup selector inferred from tone and genre; bridge pickup is most likely for the main riff.
- If more precise settings are found in future interviews or studio notes, these should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Title Fight's '27' riff section features a punchy, mid-forward, crunchy tone typical of early 2010s melodic hardcore/emo, likely using a JCM800 or similar amp with moderate gain, balanced EQ, and minimal reverb for a dry, immediate sound. The settings reflect the band's preference for clarity, aggression, and tightness without excessive low end or scooped mids.
