- Guitar model (Gibson Les Paul Standard) is confirmed for Dave Tirio in this era, but not explicitly tied to this specific recording.

- No numeric amp settings found; values are estimated for a high-gain modern rock tone.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Set It Off's 'Wolf in Sheep's Clothing' riff features a modern, tight, high-gain pop-punk/alt-rock tone with clear note separation and aggressive attack. The gain is high but not extreme, mids are present to cut through the mix, bass is tight to avoid muddiness, treble and presence are boosted for clarity, and reverb is minimal for a punchy, in-your-face sound typical of 2010s rock production.
