Notes & Caveats
- Specific pedal models and exact amp settings are not publicly documented; settings are estimated based on typical gear configurations for similar tones.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo section of 'Happier Than Ever' features a crunchy, yet warm tone typical of modern rock with a touch of blues influence. The gain is set to provide a strong crunch without overwhelming distortion, and the EQ is balanced to ensure clarity and warmth. The reverb adds a subtle ambience, enhancing the emotional impact of the section.
