Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No explicit numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on typical Vox AC50 clean settings for 1960s Beatles studio recordings.
- No evidence of pedals or effects used on the solo section in any source; pedal array left empty.
- Promo videos show other guitars, but sources confirm Lennon's Casino was likely the only guitar used on the studio recording.
- Pickup position inferred from typical Beatles clean tones and the Casino's tonal character in this era.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The 'Two of Us' solo section features a very clean, slightly warm tone typical of late-60s Beatles, likely using a Fender amp (Twin Reverb or similar) with mids pushed for British flavor, moderate bass, and restrained treble for clarity without harshness. Subtle spring reverb adds space, matching the naturalistic production of Let It Be.
