Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
  • ⚠️No direct amp knob settings found for 'Another One' session; settings estimated based on typical Vibro Champ clean tones and genre/era.
  • ⚠️Chorus pedal model is not 100% confirmed for this specific track; both Boss CE-2 and Ibanez SC-10 are documented in this era, but chorus is clearly audible.
  • ⚠️Pickup selector inferred from typical Mac DeMarco tone and audio (glassy, not bridge-bright, not neck-muddy).
  • ⚠️No evidence of delay, flanger, phaser, or other effects in the riff section; only chorus and light amp reverb are audible.
  • ⚠️Guitar knob settings are estimated based on typical Mac DeMarco clean/chorus tone and playing style.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Mac DeMarco's 'Another One' riff features a clean, slightly warm tone with prominent spring reverb, typical of his Jazzmaster-through-Fender amp setup. The EQ is balanced but slightly mid-forward and warm, with moderate bass and treble, and the reverb is lush and surfy, matching his signature dreamy indie sound.
