Notes & Caveats
- No direct studio amp/pedal settings found; amp EQ and gain estimated based on Peavey Classic 50 typical rock settings and genre/era.
- Pedal settings not specified in sources; pedal models confirmed by photo evidence and typical usage.
- Pickup position inferred from typical riff tone and genre (bridge for clarity and bite).
- No explicit mention of effects loop or amp-based effects; reverb setting estimated as low/moderate for clarity.
- No evidence of modulation or time-based effects in the riff section; only overdrive pedal confirmed.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Duman's 'Ah' riff features a classic crunchy rock tone with prominent mids and a balanced low end, consistent with their usual Marshall-style amp settings from the early 2000s Turkish rock scene. The tone is punchy and forward but not overly saturated or scooped, with minimal reverb for a tight, upfront sound.
