Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No exact amp knob settings found; estimated based on typical Fender Deluxe Reverb settings for 90s Nashville country studio tones.
- Pedal models and settings inferred from Brent Mason's direct quote and standard practice; no explicit slapback delay pedal model named.
- Pickup position inferred from typical country solo tone and Telecaster usage; not directly stated in source.
- No evidence of additional effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, etc.) in solo section; only compression and slapback delay are supported by sources and audio.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo tone in 'Chattahoochee' is classic 90s Nashville country: clean with a touch of breakup, bright and twangy, tight low end, and forward mids. Likely a Telecaster through a Fender amp (Twin or Deluxe), with moderate reverb and boosted treble/presence for cut.
