Notes & Caveats
- No direct sources confirm the exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models used on this recording.
- No numeric amp or pedal settings found; all settings estimated based on typical classic rock/blues tones for Beatles covers.

- No pedalboard or studio session photos available for this recording.
- All gear and settings are inferred from genre, era, and typical production for 'Across the Universe' soundtrack covers.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff section on 'Oh! Darling' by Dana Fuchs & Martin Luther McCoy features a warm, mid-forward, crunchy classic rock tone reminiscent of late '60s British amps (like a cranked Vox or Marshall). The gain is set for edge-of-breakup/crunch, with strong mids and rounded treble to avoid harshness, a full but not boomy bass, and subtle reverb for space without washing out the riff.
