Notes & Caveats

⚠️No direct source lists exact amp or pedal settings for 'Covet' riff; settings estimated based on typical Marshall JMP Superlead usage in 2010s rock and genre conventions.
⚠️Pedal usage inferred from Equipboard and genre; no studio photo or explicit session notes for this specific song section.
⚠️Pickup choice inferred from typical riff tone and genre, not explicitly stated in sources.
⚠️No evidence of effects loop usage or specific amp reverb/delay settings for this recording.
⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Basement's 'Covet' riff features a punchy, mid-forward British crunch typical of JCM800/Orange amps, with moderate gain for clarity and articulation. The tone is tight but not scooped, with balanced bass and treble, and minimal reverb for a dry, direct indie/alt-rock sound.
