Notes & Caveats
- No direct source lists exact amp knob settings for the solo; settings estimated based on typical Soldano SLO 100 usage for 90s alternative rock and the audible tone.
- No explicit confirmation of pedal models for the solo; modulation effect (phaser or wah) is clearly audible but model is unknown.
- Pickup type and selector position inferred from typical Hamer Standard Korina setup and solo tone characteristics.
- No evidence of delay or chorus in the solo section; only modulation (wah/phaser) and amp reverb are clearly present.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Tom Dumont's tone on 'Just a Girl' is classic mid-90s alt-rock: crunchy but not overly saturated, with forward mids, tight bass, and a bright, cutting top end. His typical use of Marshalls and Telecasters, combined with the production style of the era, suggests moderate gain, slightly boosted mids, and enough treble/presence to cut through Gwen's vocal and the synths.
