Notes & Caveats
- No direct amp knob settings for 'Hunting For Your Dream' studio session found; settings estimated based on typical Hughes & Kettner Coreblade metal tones and Syu's genre/era.
- Pedalboard photos and interviews confirm Boss SD-1, Boss DM-2W Delay, and ISP Decimator G-String II were used in this era, but exact pedal settings for this solo are not published.
- Pickup model inferred from ESP Crying Star-Phoenix specs and Syu's known preferences; not explicitly confirmed for this exact recording.
- No evidence of modulation effects (chorus, flanger, phaser) in the solo; delay is clearly audible.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Syu's lead tone on 'Hunting For Your Dream' is a modern, articulate high-gain sound with tight low end, forward but not scooped mids, and a bright, cutting top end typical of Japanese power metal. The amp is likely a Peavey 5150/6505 or ENGL, with minimal reverb and boosted presence for clarity in fast passages.
