Notes & Caveats

⚠️No direct source confirms the exact guitar, amp, or pedal settings for the solo on '傷心太平洋'; all gear and settings are inferred from Equipboard listings and typical 1990s pop/rock studio practices.
⚠️Wah effect is clearly audible in the solo, but exact pedal model is not confirmed for this recording; Jen Cry Baby Super Wah is included based on Equipboard association.
⚠️Amp settings are estimated based on typical Vox AC15 usage for pop/rock solos in the 1990s.
⚠️No explicit evidence of delay, chorus, or other modulation/time-based effects in the solo section; only wah and mild amp reverb are included.
⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo tone in '傷心太平洋' is a smooth, slightly overdriven lead typical of late 90s Mandopop ballads, with clear mids, moderate bass, and a touch of reverb for space. Richie Jen's productions favor warm, melodic tones with enough gain for sustain but not into hard rock territory.
