Unable to verify exact gear through web search — Boltcutter's specific rig for this track is not documented in any authoritative sources. Based on the song's sonic character: likely a mid-gain amp (Marshall-style or similar), humbucker-equipped guitar, with possible overdrive pedal for edge.

Punchy, mid-forward alternative rock crunch with tight low-end and cutting upper-mids — garage-influenced grit without excessive saturation

Why these settings

The Spider IV's Crunch model approximates a pushed Marshall — mid 7 compensates for the Spider's slightly scooped default voicing. The SD-1 stacks well here at moderate drive to add tube-like compression without mud. Gain kept at 5 because the SD-1 is providing additional saturation; together they hit the alt-rock crunch zone without flubby low-end.

PRO TIPDig in with your pick for accented downstrokes on the main riff — the SD-1's asymmetric clipping responds dynamically to attack, giving you that garage-rock 'snap' on harder hits while cleaning up slightly on lighter strumming.
