In the future, to be better prepared for a similar situation, I could begin familiarising myself with basic common pedal effects such as overdrive, flangers, phasers, reverb/delay, and boost pedals. In this way, along with a continual exploration of the possibilities posed by amp and guitar settings, I would be far better prepared for this area of pre-production in the future, especially when it comes to identifying the tone or effects used in a song.
