Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No explicit pedalboard photo or amp settings for this exact performance; amp and pedal choices inferred from multiple era-specific sources and live videos.
  • ⚠️Settings are estimated based on typical Two Rock Custom Reverb usage by Mayer in 2005 and genre/era conventions.
  • ⚠️No direct evidence of additional effects (delay, chorus, etc.) in the riff section; only overdrive and light reverb are included.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from audio and Mayer's common practice for riff sections in this era.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. John Mayer's live tone in this era (especially with the Trio) is edge-of-breakup, mid-forward, and warm, using a Two-Rock Custom Reverb or similar amp with moderate gain, boosted mids, and slightly rolled-off treble for smoothness. Bass is full but not boomy, presence is neutral, and reverb is moderate for blues ambience.
