Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct amp knob settings for 'Pan' solo found; settings estimated based on typical Axe-Fx II Mesa/Boogie Mark V lead presets and genre/era.
  • ⚠️All effects and amp tones are from Axe-Fx II; no evidence of physical pedals or traditional amps on this studio recording.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from typical Plini solo tones and bridge pickup clarity in the recording.
  • ⚠️Delay and reverb are clearly audible in the solo, but exact plugin settings are not published.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Plini's solo tone on 'Pan' is articulate, smooth, and moderately saturated, typical of his Suhr/Fractal rig with a tight low end, forward mids, and clear but not harsh highs. The gain is set for a fluid lead sound, with balanced EQ and subtle reverb for space without washing out the detail.
