Notes
Studio recording, Plastic Beach era (2009-2010). No direct source for exact gear on this track, but Telecaster and Fender-style amp are most consistent with Gorillaz/Noodle's known studio setups for clean, chimey tones. No evidence of pedal use in riff section; effects are likely from amp or post-processing.
