Notes & Caveats
- No direct numeric amp settings for 'Dimension' found; settings estimated based on typical Vox AC30 classic rock usage and genre/era.
- Pedalboard includes Electro-Harmonix Small Stone phaser, but no evidence it is used on the main riff section of 'Dimension'.
- No evidence of fuzz, delay, chorus, or other modulation/time-based effects on the riff section; tone is amp-driven crunch.
- Pickup choice inferred from typical classic rock riff tone and ES-335 bridge pickup sound.
- Settings are for studio recording, not live.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Wolfmother's 'Dimension' riff uses a vintage-style, thick, fuzzy hard rock tone reminiscent of late-60s/early-70s British rock, likely from a cranked Marshall or Orange amp with high gain, boosted mids, and strong low end. The tone is dry with little reverb, and presence is set high for clarity and bite.
