Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct source lists exact amp knob settings for the clean section; settings estimated based on typical JCM800 clean tone for shoegaze/dream pop and genre/era.
- No explicit confirmation of pedal models for the clean section; chorus is clearly audible, but model is not confirmed.
- Some sources mention Orange Rockerverb amps used live, but JCM800 is most consistently cited for studio/album.
- Pickup position inferred from typical clean tone and genre; not directly confirmed in sources.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Title Fight's 'Head in the Ceiling Fan' riff features a dreamy, textured, mid-gain sound typical of early 2010s shoegaze-influenced punk. The gain is set for a crunchy but not saturated tone, with balanced bass and mids for warmth and clarity, moderate treble and presence for shimmer without harshness, and a noticeable reverb for the song's atmospheric feel.
