Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp model or pedal/effects information found for the studio recording of 'Narcotic (Radio Edit)'.
- All amp settings and effects are estimated based on genre, era, and critical listening.
- No pedalboard or amp photos from the recording session; only the guitar is confirmed from video and Equipboard.
- No evidence of modulation or time-based effects (chorus, delay, flanger, etc.) in the riff section; only mild amp reverb is audible.
- If further evidence emerges (e.g., studio notes, interviews), update amp and effects fields.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The main riff of 'Narcotic' features a crunchy, mid-forward 90s alt-rock tone with moderate gain, tight but present low end, and clear upper mids/treble for definition. Production is dry with just a touch of reverb, matching typical German alt-rock tones of the late 90s.
