Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar, amp, or pedal settings for the 'Idol' studio riff section; all gear is inferred from Equipboard listings for AssH's YOASOBI work.
- No numeric amp settings found for the Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue; settings estimated based on typical Fender clean/crunch tones for modern J-pop/rock.
- No explicit pickup selector position for 'Idol'; bridge pickup inferred from tone and genre.
- Pedal use is inferred from Equipboard and audio; no direct studio session documentation for 'Idol'.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The 'Idol' riff features a modern, punchy rock tone with moderate gain—crunchy but not metal—tight low end, forward mids for clarity in the mix, and slightly boosted treble/presence for cut. Subtle reverb adds space without washing out the attack, matching J-pop/rock production conventions.
