Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct numeric amp settings found for 'Glycerine' studio recording; settings estimated based on typical Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb usage for 90s alternative rock and genre/era conventions.
  • ⚠️No evidence of pedals or effects used on the riff section; all sources and audio indicate a straight guitar-to-amp signal.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from typical Jazzmaster usage for open chords and tone in the recording; some sources mention both pickups, but neck pickup is most likely for the riff.
  • ⚠️No evidence of effects loop or amp-based effects (other than mild spring reverb) in the studio recording.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Glycerine's riff features a crunchy, mid-forward British rock tone typical of Gavin Rossdale's Marshall amp use in the mid-90s, with moderate gain, strong mids, and restrained treble for warmth; reverb is subtle, as most ambience comes from room mics and production rather than amp reverb.
