Notes & Caveats
- Exact amp settings are estimated based on typical usage of the Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier for high-gain tones.
- Guitar knob settings are inferred from common practices for achieving similar tones.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Creed's 'Ode' features a high-gain, modern rock tone typical of the late 90s, with a balanced EQ to cut through the mix. The reverb is minimal, maintaining a tight and focused sound.
