Notes & Caveats

⚠️Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
⚠️No direct source confirms the exact amp model or settings; Fender combo amp inferred from Guitar World and Equipboard.
⚠️No official rig rundown for the studio recording; guitar and pickup info based on signature model and era.
⚠️Delay pedal is clearly audible in the recording, but no source confirms the exact model; included as 'Delay pedal (model unknown)'.
⚠️Amp settings estimated based on typical clean Fender combo settings for modern progressive metal/ambient clean tones.
⚠️Pickup selector inferred from tone and genre; neck pickup chosen for clarity and warmth.
⚠️No evidence of additional pedals or effects (chorus, flanger, etc.) in the riff section; only delay is clearly present.
⚠️If more precise amp or pedal info becomes available, update accordingly.
⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Rob Scallon's 'Rain' riff section features a tight, articulate modern crunch with moderate gain, balanced EQ, and a touch of presence for clarity. The tone is not overly scooped or saturated, and reverb is minimal, matching his typical production style and gear choices.
