Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for the 'All That Matters' riff section.
- Gear and settings are estimated based on genre (R&B/pop), era (2013), and typical studio practices for similar tracks.
- No evidence of pedal use or specific effects chain for this section; all effects inferred from audio and genre conventions.
- No official rig rundown, pedalboard photo, or interview for this song's recording session.
- If new evidence emerges, settings and gear should be updated accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff in 'All That Matters' features a clean, warm R&B tone with a touch of breakup, typical of Fender-style amps or clean boutique gear. The mids are slightly forward for body, bass is present but not boomy, and treble is restrained for smoothness. Subtle reverb adds space without washing out the intimate feel.
