Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No explicit amp or pedal models/settings are confirmed for the studio recording of '4Oz' riff section in available sources.
- Amp settings are estimated based on typical Polyphia clean tones, genre, and era.
- Pickup choice inferred from typical Polyphia riff tones and the bright, articulate sound; bridge pickup is most likely.
- No pedal or effect models are confirmed for this specific recording; effects are inferred from audio and genre conventions.
- If further official rig rundown or studio notes are released, these should supersede current estimates.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Polyphia's '4Oz' riff features a modern, articulate high-gain tone with tight low end, slightly scooped but present mids, and bright, cutting treble. Tim Henson typically uses amp modelers or high-gain heads with minimal reverb, favoring clarity and percussive attack for technical playing.
