Notes & Caveats
- No direct amp knob settings for 'Youngest Daughter' found; settings estimated based on typical Hiwatt Custom 100 usage for grunge/shoegaze and artist's genre.
- Pedal models confirmed for album but not tied to specific song section; order inferred from genre and artist interviews.
- No explicit pickup selector position stated, but bridge pickup is typical for riff sections with high-gain fuzz in this genre.
- No pedal knob settings found; only pedal models and general usage confirmed.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Superheaven's 'Youngest Daughter' riff features a thick, saturated, but not overly modern high-gain tone with a balanced EQ—tight low end, present but not scooped mids, and enough treble/presence for clarity. The production is dry and punchy, typical of 2010s grunge/shoegaze revival, with minimal reverb and a crunchy, articulate distortion.
