Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for the solo section of 'Lips of an Angel'.
- Gear inferred based on genre, era, band style, and standard post-grunge recording practices.
- No pedalboard or studio notes found for this specific song/solo.
- Settings estimated using typical Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 settings for modern rock lead tones.
- Effects inferred from audio and genre conventions; no explicit pedal or amp model confirmation.
- If future evidence emerges, update with direct source citations.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo tone on 'Lips of an Angel' is a saturated, singing hard rock lead typical of mid-2000s post-grunge, likely using a Mesa/Boogie or Marshall with moderate bass, forward mids, and smooth but present highs. The gain is high for sustain, but not extreme, and reverb is subtle, matching the polished but not overly wet production.
