Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp or pedal information for this specific recording or riff section found in sources.
- Guitar model and pickup configuration are confirmed for the era but not directly tied to this song's studio session.
- Amp model and settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical pop-punk recording practices.
- Effects are inferred from audio and genre conventions; no source confirms pedalboard or amp effects for this track.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Hot Mulligan's riff tones are modern emo/pop-punk with a crunchy, articulate drive—likely a mid-gain amp (like an Orange or Marshall), with mids pushed for clarity, balanced bass, and slightly boosted treble/presence for cut. Reverb is minimal, matching the tight, in-your-face production style of the era.
