Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct amp knob settings for 'Hardcore' found; amp settings estimated based on typical Fender Super Reverb usage for heavy blues-rock and the described tone.
  • ⚠️Pedalboard lists are for general Reignwolf rig, not song-specific; pedal inclusion based on overlap between sources and what is clearly audible in the riff.
  • ⚠️No explicit pickup selector position found, but bridge pickup is strongly inferred from tone and genre.
  • ⚠️No direct evidence of effects loop usage; assumed not used based on typical vintage Fender Super Reverb setup.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Reignwolf's 'Hardcore' riff features a raw, saturated, mid-forward tone typical of his live sound—likely a cranked tube amp (often Supro or Fender) with high gain, strong mids, and minimal reverb for a dry, in-your-face feel. The settings reflect his blues-rock roots and the gritty, aggressive production style.
