Notes & Caveats
- No direct amp model or settings for 'Água Viva' studio recording found; amp settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical Juninho Afram tones.
- Pedal use confirmed for distortion (Blackstar HT-DUAL, Fire Overdrive), but exact pedal model for this track not specified.
- No explicit mention of modulation or time-based effects in sources; none clearly audible in riff section.
- Settings are estimated based on modern metal/rock conventions and available gear evidence.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Juninho Afram's tone on 'Água Viva' is a tight, articulate hard rock/early metal sound with clear mids, moderate bass, and slightly boosted treble/presence for clarity. The era (late 90s/early 2000s) and genre favor a crunchy, saturated gain but not extreme, with minimal reverb for punch and definition.
