Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No explicit pedal or effect settings found for this specific live recording; amp and guitar confirmed via Equipboard live photo evidence.
- No evidence of additional pedals or effects (delay, chorus, etc.) in this section—tone is clean and unprocessed except for amp reverb.
- Amp settings are estimated based on typical Fender Deluxe Reverb clean settings for modern indie/alt-pop and the audible tone.
- Pickup position inferred from the characteristic 'quack' and clarity of the riff, typical of Strat position 4.
- No evidence of effects loop or additional amp effects beyond spring reverb.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff section features a clean but warm and slightly pushed tone, typical of Rex Orange County's live sound, likely using a Fender-style amp with moderate bass and mids for fullness, balanced treble, neutral presence, and moderate reverb for space without washing out the articulation.
