Notes & Caveats
- No direct sources found for Hotel Etiquette's gear or settings on 'My Own Worst Enemy' riff section.
- All gear, amp, and pedal information is estimated based on genre (modern rock), era (2010s+), and typical production for this style.
- No evidence found for specific pedals or amp effects; settings are inferred from modern rock conventions.
- If more specific information becomes available, this estimate should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff tone is modern rock crunch: saturated but not extreme, with clear midrange punch and tight low end. Hotel Etiquette favors articulate, aggressive tones typical of post-2000s alternative rock, so these settings balance clarity, drive, and punch without excessive reverb or scooping.
