Notes & Caveats
- No explicit numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on Marshall JCM900 SL-X typical studio settings for melodic rock solos in early 2000s.
- No direct evidence of pedal use for the solo section; effects inferred from audio and typical genre/era practices.
- Pickup choice inferred from typical Telecaster solo tones and audio characteristics; not visually confirmed for the solo section.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo tone in 'Pupus' by Dewa 19 is smooth, sustaining, and mid-forward, typical of 90s Indonesian pop/rock with a bluesy edge. The gain is set for a classic rock crunch with warmth, mids are pushed for vocal quality, and reverb is moderate for space without washing out the clarity.
