Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source lists exact amp sim preset or knob settings for this solo; settings estimated based on typical classic rock/Chuck Berry-inspired tones and Guitar Rig 7 Pro capabilities.
  • ⚠️No explicit mention of pedal models or effects chain for this recording; all effects are assumed to be from Guitar Rig 7 Pro plugin.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from typical solo tone and HSS configuration; most likely bridge humbucker for lead clarity.
  • ⚠️No evidence of live performance rig for this song; all data is for studio/YouTube cover context.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Kfir Ochaion's 'Johnny B. Goode' solo uses a classic rock/blues crunch with a clear, singing lead, likely achieved with moderate gain, strong mids, and bright but not harsh treble. Bass is full but not boomy, presence adds clarity, and reverb is subtle for space without washing out the articulation.
