What is wrong?

Reviewed by a person. Verified claims stay as they are until a reviewer decides.

Settings

osc
2 detuned saw + 1 square, square dropped -1 oct for body, unison 3, detune 28 cents, sub square -1, noise 0.05
filter
LP 24 dB/oct, driven into soft clip
cutoff
2200 Hz
resonance
0.55, drive 0.6
envelope
A 2 ms D 60 ms S 0.7 R 90 ms; fast punch-open on every hit then a quick clamp shut, the classic hoover 'wah' contour; filter env amount 0.65
modulation
lfo sine 5.5 Hz to cutoff, glide 20 ms, mono
effects
short slap delay (1/16, low feedback) and a bright plate reverb, both kept tight so the riff stays percussive at 150+ bpm, drive
notes
The riff is the stock 90s German hardcore 'hoover' lead: a detuned saw/square stack driven hard and slammed through a fast filter-envelope punch on every note so it barks rather than sustains. A short sine LFO adds a slight wobble on longer notes, and the drive stage is what gives it the grit that cuts through the four-on-the-floor kick.
