Worth knowing

No explicit pedalboard or amp settings for 'Where Am I?' riff section found; amp settings estimated based on forum photo for Shed era and typical JCM800 punk usage.
No direct evidence of pedals used in the studio for this song's riff; no modulation or delay effects are audible in the riff section.
Treble setting is estimated due to ambiguous source (knob possibly broken or maxed); set to 8 as a typical value for JCM800 in this genre.
Reverb is set low (2) as JCM800s do not have built-in reverb and no clear reverb is audible; if any, likely added in post-production.
Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Title Fight's 'Where Am I?' riff features a punchy, mid-forward punk/hardcore tone with moderate gain, tight bass, and clear treble, typical of their late-2000s/early-2010s sound (often using JCM800s or similar amps). The tone is dry with little reverb, matching the genre's production style and the band's preference for direct, articulate distortion.
