Visual Violence amp settings — Marshall MB4410 Bass
The Pitiful Reign guitar tone for “Visual Violence”, dialed in for a Marshall MB4410 Bass with a S By Solae AB4.4C. Studio version, Visual Violence album (2008), mixed by Juan Urteaga at Trident Studios with Steve DiGiorgio co-producing
Matt Walker on bass — specific bass model unverified but likely a 4-string with roundwounds given the prominent, articulate tone; DI blended with amp likely given DiGiorgio's production influence; no specific pedals documented, clean aggressive tone with strong midrange presence
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Gain | 4 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Master | 6 |
The Marshall MB4410 is a solid-state bass combo with a mid-forward British voicing that suits thrash bass well. Mid pushed to 7 to replicate the prominent bass presence noted in the DiGiorgio-produced mix where bass remains audible even in dense sections. Gain at 4 keeps the tone clean but adds slight solid-state grit for aggression without mud. Treble at 5 prevents harsh clank while maintaining pick attack definition.
