Studio recording, 2011. Jamie Rhoden is confirmed to use a Gibson Les Paul Custom with humbuckers for 'Shed' era recordings. Marshall JCM800 2204 is confirmed via interview and photo evidence for the riff/distorted sections. Some sources mention Vox AD100VTH for home practice, but studio evidence points to Marshall JCM800. No evidence of live/tour Orange amps being used on the studio recording.

Notes & Caveats
- Amp settings are estimated based on a combination of a user-reported Vox AD100VTH setting (likely home practice, not studio) and typical JCM800 settings for this genre/era. No direct studio knob photo or interview with exact settings found.
- No direct evidence of pedals used on the studio riff section; Dunes Distortion is mentioned for home practice, but not confirmed on the album. Studio tone is likely amp-driven.
- Presence and reverb settings are estimated based on typical JCM800 use and the dry, direct sound of the recording.
- No evidence of modulation, delay, or time-based effects on the riff section; only distortion is clearly present.
- If the studio used a different amp for feedback/overdubs, this is not reflected in the main riff tone.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Title Fight's 'Shed' riff features a saturated, punchy punk/hardcore tone typical of early 2010s post-hardcore, likely using a JCM800 or similar amp with high gain, forward mids, and slightly boosted treble/presence for clarity. The bass is tight but not boomy, and the reverb is minimal, matching the dry, aggressive mix style of the era.
