Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact amp model or pedal models for the riff section of 'I' by BUMP OF CHICKEN.
- Guitar and pickup inferred from Equipboard and typical band usage; amp model and settings estimated based on genre, era, and Japanese modern rock conventions.
- Pedal/effect models not specified in any source; effect types inferred from Equipboard and audible characteristics in the recording.
- Settings are estimated based on typical Marshall/Fender-style amp settings for modern Japanese rock with crunch/distorted tones.
- No explicit pickup selector position found; bridge pickup chosen based on typical riff tone and audible brightness/punch.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. BUMP OF CHICKEN's 'I' riff has a clear, crunchy rock tone with moderate gain, full mids, and balanced bass and treble, typical of their Marshall-style amp approach. The production is modern but not overly processed, with subtle reverb and presence for clarity without harshness.
