Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No evidence of a traditional guitar or guitar amp used; the riff is played on a Yamaha CS-01 synthesizer.
  • ⚠️No numeric amp or pedal settings found in sources; settings estimated based on synth tone and genre/era.
  • ⚠️No pickup selector or guitar knob settings apply; values estimated for reference.
  • ⚠️No pedalboard or amp model confirmed for this recording.
  • ⚠️Spring reverb is listed as used based on Dorian Concept's known gear, but not confirmed for this exact track.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff section features a clean, percussive, and slightly glassy tone typical of Dorian Concept's fusion/electronic-jazz approach, likely using a DI or clean amp with moderate mids and bright treble for clarity. The low gain, moderate bass, and subtle reverb reflect the modern, hi-fi production and the artist's preference for articulate, uncompressed guitar textures.
