Notes & Caveats
- No explicit numeric amp settings found in sources; settings estimated based on typical Marshall Plexi usage for Duane Allman at Fillmore East and era-appropriate tones.
- No evidence of any pedals or effects used for this section; all overdrive/distortion is from the amp.
- No reverb or time-based effects audible or cited; Marshall Plexi has no built-in reverb.
- Pickup choice inferred from tone and era photos; Duane Allman typically used bridge pickup for riff sections.
- If more precise amp knob settings are found in future, update accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Duane Allman's Fillmore East tone is edge-of-breakup, warm and mid-forward, using a Marshall amp with high bass and mids for blues thickness, moderate treble for clarity, and subtle room reverb from the live mix. Presence is set to add air but not harshness, matching the classic blues-rock sound of this era.
