Notes & Caveats
- No direct studio amp or pickup selector documentation for 'Aftermath (Edit)' riff section; guitar and pedal info inferred from live pedalboard photos and Equipboard listings from the same era.
- Amp model and exact settings are estimated based on typical indie/alt-rock tones and visible pedalboard gear.
- Pedal settings are not specified in sources; pedal inclusion is based on confirmed pedalboard photos and typical usage.
- No evidence of effects loop or specific amp-based effects; all effects listed are pedal-based.
- If a different guitar or amp was used in the studio, this information is not available in current sources.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Dominic Fike's riff tone on 'Aftermath (Edit)' is clean with a touch of breakup, mid-forward, and slightly compressed, matching his indie/alt-pop style. The amp settings reflect a balanced, articulate sound with moderate bass, pronounced mids, and just enough reverb for subtle space, consistent with his typical Fender/clean amp preferences.
