Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No explicit source confirms the exact pedal or effect chain for the distorted riff section; settings estimated based on typical use of Fender Bassman for rock crunch and the audible tone on the recording.
  • ⚠️No evidence of additional electric guitars or alternate amps for the riff section; Takamine P3NY and Bassman are confirmed for album sessions.
  • ⚠️No specific numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on genre, amp, and era.
  • ⚠️No pedal or effect model confirmed for the riff section; no obvious modulation or time-based effects audible in the recording.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff in 'Dinner & Diatribes' features a punchy, mid-forward crunch with moderate gain, characteristic of Hozier's preference for vintage-voiced amps and rootsy rock tones. The bass is supportive but not boomy, mids are prominent for cut, treble is present but not harsh, and reverb is subtle, matching the song's dry, direct production.
