Notes & Caveats
- No explicit confirmation of exact guitar model or pickup position for this specific song/section; inferred from genre, era, and Premier Guitar interview.
- No specific amp knob settings found; estimated based on typical Music Man HD-130 clean platform with pedal-based distortion for modern country/rock.
- Pedal order and settings inferred from artist's stated preferences and typical usage; no direct studio documentation for 'Stop & Stare' riff.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in riff section; only gain/fuzz/overdrive pedals confirmed by artist for main rhythm tones.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Treaty Oak Revival's 'Stop & Stare' riff has a crunchy, mid-forward modern country-rock tone with good clarity and punch, likely from a tube amp set for classic rock crunch. The bass is solid but not boomy, mids are pushed for presence in the mix, and reverb is subtle for a touch of space.
