Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar, amp, or pedal models used on the studio recording of 'Máscara' by Pitty.
- Settings and gear are estimated based on genre, era, and typical Brazilian rock production of early 2000s.
- No pedalboard or studio photos for this session found in available sources.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section; distortion is likely from amp or a distortion pedal.
- If more specific information becomes available (e.g., studio interview, isolated track, or official rig rundown), update accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Pitty's 'Máscara' riff features a crunchy, mid-forward rock tone typical of early 2000s Brazilian alt-rock, likely using a Marshall-style amp with moderate gain, balanced EQ, and minimal reverb for punch and clarity. The settings reflect her preference for articulate, aggressive rhythm tones that cut through the mix without excessive harshness or muddiness.
