Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar or amp model used on the 'Glory' riff section; estimates are based on Tim Christensen's known gear from the 1990s and genre conventions.
- No numeric amp settings were found; values are estimated based on typical Marshall-style rock tones from the era.
- Pedal usage is partially confirmed: Carl Martin Dizzy Drive and DC Drive are associated with Tim Christensen, but not explicitly tied to this recording of 'Glory'.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects (delay, chorus, flanger, etc.) in sources or clearly audible in the riff section; only overdrive/distortion is included.
- Pickup choice is inferred from typical rock rhythm tones and Tim Christensen's playing style.
- If more detailed studio documentation or isolated tracks become available, these values should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff in 'Glory' features a saturated, crunchy hard rock tone with pronounced mids and tight low end, typical of Tim Christensen's Marshall-based setup from the mid-90s. The sound is punchy and forward in the mix, with moderate reverb and presence to add clarity without harshness.
