Notes & Caveats
- No direct sources specify the guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models used on the studio recording of 'We Just Want You' by William McDowell.
- All gear and settings are estimated based on genre conventions (modern gospel/worship), era (2010s), and critical listening to the solo section.
- Delay and reverb are clearly audible in the solo, but no source confirms pedal or amp models.
- No evidence for modulation effects (chorus, flanger, phaser) in the solo.
- Settings are inferred from typical gospel/worship tones and not from direct source data.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo guitar tone on 'We Just Want You' is clean with slight breakup, warm and mid-forward, typical of gospel/CCM session tones from the 2010s. The amp settings favor clarity and warmth, with moderate reverb for space, matching the genre's preference for expressive, soulful leads that sit well in the mix.
