Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct amp knob settings for this song/solo found; settings estimated based on typical Fender Twin Reverb usage for classic rock with single-coils.
  • ⚠️Pedal models not explicitly confirmed for the studio recording; modulation effect (flanger/chorus) is clearly audible in the solo and supported by Squire's known live pedal use.
  • ⚠️No evidence of overdrive/distortion pedal; crunch comes from amp breakup and single-coil Telecaster bridge pickup.
  • ⚠️No evidence of delay pedal in the solo; reverb likely from amp.
  • ⚠️If more specific pedalboard or amp settings for the studio session are found, update accordingly.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. John Squire's solo tone on 'I Am the Resurrection' is classic British crunch with a mid-forward, singing lead, likely using a Marshall amp with moderate gain, strong mids, and balanced bass/treble. The reverb is subtle, typical of late 80s/early 90s UK indie production.
