Notes & Caveats
- No direct sources confirm the exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models used for the studio recording of 'Pawana' by Search (solo section).
- No numeric amp or pedal settings found in any source; all values estimated based on typical 1980s Malaysian rock studio tones.
- No pedalboard or effects chain information found for this specific song/solo; effects inferred from genre/era and typical production.
- No evidence of specific pickup position; bridge pickup estimated based on common practice for melodic rock solos.
- No evidence of effects loop usage or specific amp-based effects; reverb estimated as moderate studio plate or spring.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo tone on 'Pawana' is classic late-80s/early-90s Malaysian hard rock: saturated but articulate, with a singing sustain and forward mids typical of Search's signature sound. The amp is likely set for a crunchy, expressive lead with balanced EQ and moderate reverb, matching the genre and era's production style.
