Notes & Caveats
- No direct numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on Marshall JCM2000 typical alt-rock/shoegaze usage and visible pedalboard for this session.
- Exact Jazzmaster model not specified in sources, but photographic/video evidence confirms Jazzmaster body and pickups.
- Pedal order inferred from typical signal chain and pedalboard layout in EarthQuaker Sessions video.
- No explicit pickup selector position stated, but bridge pickup is standard for heavy/distorted riff sections in this genre and audible in the recording.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS typically use high-gain, mid-forward tones with tight low end and moderate brightness, characteristic of 2000s Japanese alternative/shoegaze. The riff section is saturated but clear, with punchy mids and a slightly airy top, and minimal reverb as is common in their production style.
