Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct source gives exact amp knob settings for the clean section; values estimated based on typical Hiwatt clean settings for this genre/era.
- No explicit confirmation of pickup selector for clean part; neck pickup inferred from tone and genre conventions.
- Pedal model for modulation effect not 100% confirmed for clean section, but Dan Electro Hash Browns Flanger is strongly associated with the band and era.
- No evidence of additional pedals (delay, reverb, chorus) in clean section; only flanger is audibly present.
- No studio documentation found for pedal settings or amp reverb level; values estimated based on listening and genre.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Superheaven's 'Youngest Daughter' features a thick, saturated, but not overly fizzy high-gain tone typical of 2010s grunge/shoegaze revival, likely using a JCM800 or Orange amp with moderate mids, solid low end, and enough presence to cut through, with minimal reverb as is standard for punchy, up-front modern rock production.
