Notes & Caveats
- No direct amp knob settings found for studio session; values estimated based on typical Fender Twin Reverb settings for modern rock and the described tone.
- All effects (chorus, reverb) were applied as plugins in the mix, not via pedals or amp onboard effects.
- No evidence of drive/distortion pedals used on the studio recording; overdrive comes from amp and mix processing.
- Pickup selector not explicitly stated, but bridge pickup is most likely based on tone and genre.
- Chorus effect is present in the mix via UAD Studio D plugin, not a pedal or amp effect.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Måneskin's 'Beggin'' riff features a crunchy, mid-forward rock tone typical of British-inspired amps (like Marshall), with enough gain for punch but not full saturation. The bass is solid but not boomy, mids are prominent for cut, treble and presence are set for clarity without harshness, and reverb is minimal, matching modern rock production.
