Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No explicit numeric amp settings found for this specific live performance; settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical Fractal/Polyphia live tones.
  • ⚠️Pedal/effect models inferred from live rig photos, forum discussions, and audible effects in recording.
  • ⚠️Exact pickup selector position not confirmed in sources, but Polyphia's riff tones are widely described as using split or parallel single coils (Position 4) for clarity.
  • ⚠️Amp model is Fractal Axe-Fx II, which can model various amps; typical settings for Polyphia's live tones used.
  • ⚠️Chorus and compression are both clearly audible and confirmed by multiple sources as essential to Polyphia's tone.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Polyphia's 'Goose (Live at the Factory in Deep Ellum)' features a modern, articulate high-gain tone with tight low end, forward but not honky mids, and bright, cutting treble for note clarity. Tim Henson typically uses high-gain amps (like Mesa/Boogie or Neural DSP plugins) with moderate bass, neutral mids, high treble/presence, and minimal reverb for a dry, precise live sound.
