Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact amp, pedal, or guitar settings for the solo section of 'One Last Goodbye (Remastered)'.
- Guitar and amp models are inferred from band interviews, era, and typical studio setups for Anathema in 2001.
- Pedal and effect models are not confirmed; delay and reverb are clearly audible in the solo, but specific pedal/amp models are unknown.
- Settings are estimated based on typical Marshall JCM900 usage for melodic metal leads in early 2000s.
- No evidence of modulation effects (chorus, flanger, phaser) in the solo section.
- Pickup choice (neck) is inferred from the warm, rounded tone of the solo.
- If more precise studio documentation or isolated track analysis becomes available, these details should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo section in 'One Last Goodbye (Remastered)' features a warm, expressive, edge-of-breakup lead tone typical of late-90s/early-2000s Anathema, likely using a Marshall-style amp with moderate gain, prominent mids, and a touch of reverb for space. The tone is smooth and vocal, not overly bright or scooped, aligning with the band's atmospheric rock approach.
