Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct amp knob settings for this exact live performance found; settings estimated based on typical Fender Vibrolux Reverb clean tone for 1990s live Buckley performances.
- No evidence of pedals or additional effects for the clean riff section; reverb is from amp.
- Pickup position inferred from tone descriptors and typical Buckley live setup.
- If more specific live rig documentation emerges, settings may need revision.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Buckley's live tone on this track is clean but with a touch of breakup, rich mids, and a warm, slightly ambient character typical of his Fender amp and Telecaster setup. The settings reflect his preference for forward mids, moderate bass, restrained treble, and a natural room reverb, matching the soulful, expressive feel of the riff section.
