Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct amp knob settings found; values estimated based on typical Vox AC30 settings for Beatles' clean tones in 1966.
- No evidence of pedals or outboard effects used on this section; all effects are from amp or studio ambience.
- Guitar model and pickup confirmed by multiple sources, but not all sources agree on player (Paul vs George); tone is consistent with Casino/AC30 setup.
- Reverb is likely from studio plate or room, but a small amount of amp reverb is estimated for realism.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff section features a very clean, articulate, and mid-forward tone typical of Paul McCartney's Epiphone Casino or George Harrison's Casino through a Vox AC30, with low gain, moderate bass, strong mids, and balanced treble. Subtle spring reverb was likely added for warmth, consistent with mid-60s Abbey Road production.
