Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for 'Água Viva' solo section; all gear and settings are estimated based on typical Juninho Afram/Oficina G3 studio rig from early 2000s and genre conventions.
- No numeric amp or pedal settings found in sources; values estimated based on Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier usage in modern rock/metal context.
- No evidence of specific pedal models for delay or modulation; delay is clearly audible in solo, so included as 'Delay pedal (model unknown)'.
- No evidence of effects loop usage or specific amp effects; reverb assumed to be amp-based spring or digital at low level.
- If more accurate information becomes available (e.g., artist interview, studio notes), update all fields accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Juninho Afram's lead tone on 'Água Viva' is a saturated, singing high-gain sound typical of late 90s/early 2000s Brazilian prog/gospel rock, likely using a Mesa/Boogie or similar amp with pronounced mids and smooth top end. The solo is articulate but not overly bright, with moderate reverb for space, and a tight but present low end to keep the lead clear in the mix.
