Notes & Caveats
- No direct studio documentation of exact guitar/amp/pedal settings for 'Gasoline' riff section; gear and settings estimated based on era, genre, and typical Seether studio setups.
- Pedals listed on Equipboard are from later live rigs and not confirmed for the original 'Disclaimer' studio recording.
- No evidence of chorus, delay, or other modulation/time-based effects on the riff section in the studio version; all effects inferred from audio and genre conventions.
- Amp model inferred from genre, era, and band interviews; PRS SE Singlecut inferred from period-correct live photos and interviews, but not explicitly confirmed for studio recording.
- Settings estimated based on typical Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier usage for early 2000s post-grunge/nu-metal rhythm tones.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Seether's 'Gasoline' riff features a thick, saturated modern post-grunge tone with tight low end, slightly scooped mids, and aggressive but not harsh highs. Shaun Morgan typically used Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifiers in this era, dialed for high gain and punch, with minimal reverb for a dry, in-your-face sound.
