Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct source specifies exact amp settings for the clean section of 'Safe In Your Skin'; settings are estimated based on typical Vox AC30 clean tones and genre/era.
- Pedal/effects info for the clean section is not directly cited; no chorus, delay, or modulation is audible in the clean intro/riff.
- Some sources mention Marshall JCM800 for live use, but studio recording is widely cited as Vox AC30 for 'Shed'.
- Pickup position is inferred from tone and common practice for clean sections; not explicitly confirmed in sources.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Title Fight's 'Safe In Your Skin' riff section features a crunchy, mid-forward tone typical of their post-hardcore/shoegaze crossover era, likely using a JCM800 or similar amp with moderate gain, balanced EQ, and minimal reverb for a dry, punchy sound that sits well in a dense mix.
