Studio recording, 2018. No direct evidence of exact guitar or amp model for the studio version of 'Babydoll', but Stratocaster and Fender amp are most consistent with artist's gear and the song's tone. Pedalboard evidence from live shows in the same era supports use of TS9 Tube Screamer and Hall of Fame Reverb, but not confirmed for studio. No evidence of effects loop use.
