Notes & Caveats
- Specific pedal models and exact amp settings are not explicitly documented; settings are estimated based on typical configurations of the era.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. For 'Used to Love Her (Live)', Slash likely used a mid-gain setting typical of his classic rock style, with balanced EQ to cut through the mix. The live setting would have subtle reverb for ambience, and presence to add clarity.
