Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No specific amp knob settings found; values estimated based on typical Fender Princeton Reverb clean settings for modern rock.
- Pedalboard photo confirms TC Electronic Hall Of Fame Reverb pedal, but no settings or other pedals confirmed for this song.
- Pickup selector position inferred from typical Telecaster riff tone and audio characteristics.
- No evidence of overdrive/distortion/fuzz pedals or amp gain for riff section.
- If additional effects are present in the mix, they are likely studio/mixing, not part of the guitarist's pedal chain.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. King Gnu's 'Ichizu' riff features a tight, punchy modern rock tone with moderate gain, forward mids, and clear but not harsh treble. The bass is controlled for clarity, presence adds bite, and reverb is minimal, matching Japanese alt-rock production trends and Daiki Tsuneta's typical amp settings.
