Studio recording, 2012 (Floral Green album). Gear confirmed for Jamie Rhoden on this album, but no explicit studio pedalboard photo for this song. Acoustic versions use Martin DX1R, but the studio riff is electric. No evidence of JCM800 or AC30 on this track; Orange Rockerverb MKII is the only amp directly tied to Jamie for this era.

Notes & Caveats
- No explicit studio pedalboard photo or amp knob settings for 'Like a Ritual' riff section; amp and guitar inferred from multiple sources for Jamie Rhoden's Floral Green era.
- Pedal models inferred from Jamie's typical board for this era; no direct studio photo for this song.
- Amp settings estimated based on typical Orange Rockerverb MKII usage in punk/post-hardcore and tone descriptors from forums.
- Chorus effect is noted as present on the album, but not always song-specific; included as 'possible' with moderate confidence.
- No evidence of delay, flanger, phaser, or wah in the riff section; only overdrive/distortion and subtle chorus are plausible.
- Pickup position inferred from genre and tone (bridge for main riff punch).
- If new studio evidence emerges, update pedal/amp settings accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Title Fight's 'Like a Ritual' riff features a saturated, punchy modern punk/hardcore tone with tight low end, present mids, and a slightly aggressive top end, typical of JCM800/Orange-style amps used by the band in this era. The tone is dry with minimal reverb, and the settings reflect a balance between clarity and heaviness without scooping the mids.
