Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp model or settings found for the studio recording of 'Jet' solo; amp and settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical Japanese J-rock tones.
- Pedalboard evidence shows OCD, Zendrive, King of Tone, Boss DD-7, Strymon Big Sky, and Line 6 M9, but no direct confirmation of which were used on 'Jet' solo. Overdrive and delay are inferred from both pedalboard and audible effects.
- Pickup position is inferred based on typical solo brightness and Strat wiring.
- Settings are estimated based on typical Strat + overdrive + clean/edge amp for modern J-rock.
- No explicit pedal settings found; delay time and mix are estimated from audio.
- If more specific studio documentation appears, update with exact amp/pedal chain.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo in 'Jet' by Polkadot Stingray features a modern, articulate crunch with clear note separation and a cutting, present top end—typical of Shizuku's style and likely achieved with a mid-to-high gain setting, forward mids, and bright treble. The bass is tight but not boomy, presence is boosted for clarity, and reverb is subtle, matching the production's polished yet lively rock sound.
