Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source provides exact amp knob settings; values estimated based on typical Fender Vibroverb settings for clean/edge-of-breakup tones in 1990s alternative/rock context.
  • ⚠️No explicit evidence of pedal use for this solo section; no delay, chorus, or modulation effects are clearly audible in the solo.
  • ⚠️Sources confirm Telecaster and Vibroverb as primary studio gear for Grace album, but do not specify pickup selector or knob positions; neck pickup and moderate tone/volume inferred from tone and genre.
  • ⚠️If alternate gear or effects are discovered in future interviews or session notes, settings may need revision.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Buckley's solo tone is edge-of-breakup with a warm, mid-forward character typical of a Fender amp (likely a Twin Reverb or Vibroverb), with moderate bass and restrained treble for smoothness, and moderate spring reverb for ambience. The settings reflect his expressive, dynamic playing and the soulful, blues-influenced genre.
