Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct studio amp knob settings found; values estimated based on typical clean/ambient settings for Epiphone Blues Custom and genre/era.
  • ⚠️Pedalboard and gear confirmed for the correct era, but no explicit pickup selector position stated; neck pickup inferred from tone descriptors and genre.
  • ⚠️No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for 'Opera House' riff section; all gear matches debut album era.
  • ⚠️Pedal settings for Neunaber Stereo Wet Reverb and Boss DD-3 Delay not found; settings inferred from typical ambient use.
  • ⚠️Presence setting estimated based on amp type and genre.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Cigarettes After Sex favor a lush, clean-to-edge-of-breakup tone with prominent ambient reverb, warm mids, and rolled-off highs for their dreamy sound. The gain is set low for clarity, bass and mids are slightly boosted for warmth, treble is kept moderate to avoid harshness, and reverb is high to achieve their signature atmospheric vibe.
