Notes & Caveats

⚠️No direct numeric amp settings for 'Touch and Go' studio recording found; settings estimated based on genre, amp model (Axe-Fx II), and typical Intervals tones.
⚠️No explicit pedalboard or outboard pedal use confirmed for this recording; all effects likely from Axe-Fx II.
⚠️Pickup choice inferred from genre and tone (bridge pickup for riff clarity and aggression).
⚠️Amp model within Axe-Fx II not explicitly stated, but Mesa/Boogie Mark series or similar is typical for this style.
⚠️All effects and amp tones are likely digital (Axe-Fx II), not analog pedals or tube amps.
⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Intervals' 'Touch and Go' riff uses a modern djent/progressive metal tone: tight, high-gain, with focused mids, controlled bass, and clear, articulate highs. Aaron Marshall typically uses Axe-Fx or similar modelers with settings that emphasize clarity, percussive attack, and minimal ambience for punch and precision.
