Notes

Gear is based on studio era (2018) and photographic evidence of Luke Hemmings using a Fender Stratocaster. No explicit confirmation of amp model or pedals used specifically on the studio recording of 'More' riff section. Pedalboard photos from the era show a Zoom MS-70CDR MultiStomp, but no direct evidence it was used on this track. Settings estimated based on modern rock genre and typical Strat/amp pairing.
