Notes & Caveats
- No traditional guitar or amp is used in the riff section of 'Hide (CS01 Version)' by Dorian Concept; the main riff is performed on a Yamaha CS-01 synthesizer.
- All 'amp' and 'guitar' settings are estimated for context; actual tone is shaped by synth parameters and outboard effects.
- Pedals/effects listed are confirmed for Dorian Concept's synth signal chain in this era, but exact knob settings are not available.
- No pickup selector or guitar knob settings are relevant; synth filter and output level are the closest analogues.
- No evidence of live performance with guitar for this song/section; all info pertains to the studio recording.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff section of 'Hide (CS01 Version)' features a clean-to-edge-of-breakup tone with a warm, forward midrange and moderate treble, typical of Dorian Concept's preference for organic, expressive textures. The amp settings reflect a slightly gritty, dynamic sound with subtle ambience, likely achieved with a transparent amp or modeler and minimal reverb.
