Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source confirms the exact guitar model or pickup position for the 'Earrings' solo; inferred from artist's typical gear and genre.
  • ⚠️No numeric amp settings found for Malcolm Todd; settings estimated based on typical Vox AC15C1 usage for dreamy/indie tones.
  • ⚠️Pedal/effect models not confirmed by source; modulation effect (chorus or phaser) is inferred as clearly audible in the solo.
  • ⚠️No evidence of fuzz pedal model; 'fuzz-inspired' tone may be from amp or plugin saturation.
  • ⚠️No explicit evidence of effects loop usage; assumed not used.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo section of 'Earrings' by Malcolm Todd features a clean, slightly driven tone with forward mids and a balanced, modern R&B/neo-soul character. Malcolm typically favors clarity and warmth, with moderate reverb for space, and these settings reflect the genre's conventions and the song's production.
