Notes & Caveats
- Amp model is not specified for this recording; settings are from a Guitar World Plini tone guide, not confirmed for this exact track but representative of his studio approach.
- No direct evidence of pedal models used on this specific solo; effects inferred from audio and typical Plini gear.
- Presence setting estimated based on typical Plini tones and genre.
- Delay and reverb are clearly audible in the solo but specific pedal/amp models are not confirmed.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Plini's solo tones are articulate, smooth, and moderately saturated, with a clear mid-forward character and tight low end typical of modern prog. He favors a balanced EQ with slightly boosted presence for clarity, and uses subtle reverb for space without washing out the detail.
