Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct sources confirm the exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models for this recording.
- No official rig rundown, pedalboard photo, or studio notes found for William McDowell's 'We Just Want You' riff section.
- All gear and settings are estimated based on genre (gospel), era (2010s), and typical session practices.
- No evidence of specific effects pedals or amp models used; all effects inferred from audio and genre conventions.
- If more accurate information becomes available (e.g., from session musicians or studio engineers), this should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff section features a clean but slightly driven gospel/R&B tone with warmth and clarity, typical of modern gospel guitarists using Fender or boutique amps. The mids are forward for mix presence, bass is supportive but not boomy, and reverb is subtle for ambience without washing out the attack.
