Notes & Caveats
- No official studio documentation of exact guitar, amp, or pedal settings for the solo section of 'Run' by Joji.
- Gear and settings are inferred from Equipboard, user posts, and genre/era conventions.
- No direct evidence of pedal models used on the studio recording; delay and reverb are clearly audible but specific pedals are not confirmed.
- Settings are estimated based on typical modern rock/ambient lead tones and the BluGuitar Amp1's capabilities.
- Pickup choice inferred from tone characteristics and common Gretsch usage for smooth, singing leads.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo section in 'Run' by Joji features a smooth, sustaining lead tone with moderate gain, forward mids, and balanced EQ, typical of modern pop/alt-rock ballads. The amp settings reflect a crunchy but not overly saturated sound, with enough reverb for ambience, matching the song's lush production and the genre's conventions.
