Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp head model or exact pedal settings found for the studio recording; Marshall 1960A cab is confirmed, typical Marshall settings for 2000s Pinoy rock inferred.
- No evidence of effects pedals or amp-based effects (delay, chorus, flanger, etc.) used on the riff section; only distortion/overdrive is clearly present.
- Pickup choice inferred from typical rock rhythm tone and SG bridge pickup usage.
- Settings estimated based on genre, era, and confirmed amp/cab pairing.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The 'Narda' riff features a crunchy, saturated rock tone typical of early 2000s Filipino alt-rock, with enough gain for sustain but not full metal saturation. The EQ is balanced and mid-forward for punch and clarity, with moderate bass and treble, and just a touch of reverb for space, matching Kamikazee's usual amp settings and production style.
