Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for this solo; all gear and settings are estimated based on typical Malaysian rock setups of the late 1980s and Search's known gear from that era.
- No pedalboard or studio documentation for this specific recording found in available sources.
- Effects chain and amp model inferred from genre, era, and audible characteristics in the recording.
- Pedal and effect models are not confirmed; delay and reverb are clearly audible but specific units are unknown.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo tone on 'Fantasia Bulan Madu' is classic late-80s/early-90s Malaysian rock: saturated but not extreme gain, with a singing sustain, forward mids for melodic cut, and balanced bass/treble. Presence and reverb are moderate, reflecting both the era's production and Search's typical amp voicing (often Marshall-style).
