Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct numeric amp settings for the Line 6 Pocket POD or BD-2 for this song's solo found; settings estimated based on typical rock tones and the sound of the solo.
  • ⚠️No explicit pickup selector info for the solo, but the tone is consistent with the neck pickup on a Telecaster.
  • ⚠️No evidence of traditional amp use; all sources point to amp simulation via Pocket POD.
  • ⚠️No explicit mention of delay or modulation pedals for the solo, but a mild reverb and slight compression are audible.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Blaster Silonga of IV OF SPADES typically favors a mid-forward, crunchy, and articulate tone for solos, with moderate gain, pronounced mids, and balanced treble. The solo in 'Mundo' is clear, expressive, and slightly ambient, suggesting classic rock amp settings with a touch of reverb and presence for clarity.
