Notes & Caveats
- No explicit pedal or effect model is confirmed for 'Cheer Me On' riff section; pedal/effect use inferred from genre, era, and audible tone.
- Amp and guitar models are confirmed for the album era but not specifically for this song; settings are estimated based on typical Vox AC15C1 usage in modern indie/bedroom pop rock.
- No direct evidence of pickup selector position; bridge pickup inferred from tone characteristics.
- No explicit numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on genre, amp, and era.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff in 'Cheer Me On' has a clean, funky, and slightly compressed tone with just a hint of breakup, typical of modern R&B/neo-soul. Malcolm Todd favors clarity and mid-forward presence, with balanced lows and a touch of reverb for space, matching genre and era conventions.
