Original Recording
Live and studio setups in the 2010s+ often use Fractal Audio FM9 for amp and effects modeling, especially for solos. Victory V30 MkII and Suhr Badger 30 are the most commonly modeled amps. The Charvel Guthrie Govan signature is the primary guitar for solos. Settings are estimated based on typical Govan solo tones and available interviews; no direct numeric settings for this exact solo found.

Notes & Caveats
- No direct numeric amp settings for solo section found; settings estimated based on typical Guthrie Govan solo tones and amp models used in the 2010s+.
- Fractal Audio FM9 is used for both amp and effects modeling; actual amp model may vary between Victory V30 MkII and Suhr Badger 30 depending on patch.
- Pedal/effect models are inferred from interviews, rig rundowns, and audible effects in typical Govan solos; exact pedal models for this specific solo not confirmed.
- Pickup position inferred from typical Govan solo approach (bridge humbucker for sustain and clarity); coil-split may be used for some passages.
- Signal chain and effects order are based on common Govan setups; specific order for this solo not directly documented.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Assuming this refers to a Guthrie Govan-style solo tone: his lead sound is articulate, dynamic, and moderately saturated, with forward mids for note clarity, balanced lows and highs, and a touch of room reverb. These settings reflect his typical Suhr/Marshall-inspired amp approach for fusion/rock solos.
