Notes & Caveats
- No direct source lists exact amp or pedal settings for this song; amp and guitar models are inferred from band/album era and gear listings.
- No evidence of pedals or effects used on the studio riff section; tone is raw amp distortion.
- Settings estimated based on typical punk/hardcore tones of early 1990s and the Kustom K250 amp.
- No evidence of reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, or other effects in the riff section; if present, they are extremely subtle or absent.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The guitar tone on 'Bite It You Scum' is raw, aggressive, and mid-forward, typical of early 90s punk with a biting, almost abrasive edge. The gain is high but not modern metal-level, with moderate bass, strong mids, and bright treble for cut; presence is up for clarity, and the tone is bone-dry with no reverb, matching the lo-fi, in-your-face production.
