Notes & Caveats
- No source explicitly confirms the exact guitar model or pickup position for this specific live performance; Gibson ES-335 with humbuckers is inferred from typical Kasabian live setups.
- Amp model (Vox AC30) is confirmed for Kasabian live and studio use in this era, but no source gives specific knob settings for 'Fast Fuse (Live)'; settings are estimated based on typical AC30 rock usage.
- No source provides explicit pedal settings or signal chain for this song/section; fuzz pedal use is inferred from both Equipboard and MusicRadar, but exact model for this performance is not confirmed.
- No explicit mention of amp reverb or other amp effects; reverb setting is estimated based on genre and live context.
- Pedal order and effects loop usage are not documented for this performance.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Sergio Pizzorno's live 'Fast Fuse' tone is a classic British crunch with strong midrange, moderate gain, and tight low end, typical of Vox/Marshall-style amps. The tone is punchy and forward with minimal reverb, matching Kasabian's live production and Brit-rock conventions.
