Notes & Caveats
- No direct studio pedalboard or amp knob photos for 'Goldwaite' found; settings estimated based on typical JCM800 punk usage and era.
- Live performances sometimes used Orange Rockerverb or Peavey Roadmaster as substitutes, but studio recording for 'Shed' is most reliably associated with JCM800.
- No evidence of modulation or time-based effects in the riff section; pedal use is minimal or absent.
- No explicit pickup selector position stated, but bridge pickup is standard for this genre and tone.
- No direct evidence of amp reverb, but a small amount is estimated for room feel.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Title Fight's 'Goldwaite' riff section features a gritty, mid-forward punk/hardcore tone typical of their early 2010s sound, likely using a JCM800 or similar amp with moderate-high gain, balanced bass, pronounced mids, and clear but not harsh treble. The production is dry with little reverb, matching genre and era conventions.
