Studio recording, 2016 release. Plini is confirmed to use his signature .strandberg* Boden Prog Plini Edition with Suhr pickups for this era and song. The Archetype: Plini plugin is modeled after his studio tones and is widely cited as the source for both live and studio tones post-2019, but for the original recording, the Axe-FX II was likely used with similar amp/cab/effects blocks. No evidence of analog pedals in the studio chain for this solo; all effects likely in-the-box.

Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct studio knob settings for 'Every Piece Matters' solo found; amp and effect settings estimated based on genre, artist's plugin presets, and typical fusion lead tones.
  • ⚠️All effects are likely in-the-box (Axe-FX II or plugin), not analog pedals.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from typical Plini solo tones and the warm, rounded sound of the solo.
  • ⚠️Amp model is the Neural DSP Archetype: Plini for modern recreations, but original recording likely used Axe-FX II with similar settings.
  • ⚠️Pedal/effect models are inferred from plugin and audible effects, not confirmed by studio notes.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Plini’s solo tone here is modern, articulate, and smooth with moderate gain, forward mids, and clear but not harsh highs. He typically uses a Suhr or Axe-Fx/Neural DSP setup with a tight low end, present mids, and just enough reverb for space without washing out the detail.
