Notes & Caveats
- No direct sources found for the exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models used on the studio recording of 'Illégal (Remasterisé 2023)' by Marjo.
- All gear and settings are estimated based on typical 1980s/2020s Quebec rock production and genre conventions.
- No evidence of specific pedals or amp effects beyond possible amp reverb.
- No pedalboard, rig rundown, or studio notes found for this song or artist.
- If more accurate information becomes available, update all fields accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff tone is classic 80s/early 90s Quebec rock: crunchy but not high-gain, with a forward midrange and balanced EQ. Marjo's guitarists typically favored Marshall-style amps with moderate gain and a rock-forward EQ, and the remaster preserves the original's punchy, slightly ambient sound.
