Notes & Caveats
- No direct evidence for exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models used on this recording.
- No official rig rundown, studio notes, or interviews found for this song or solo section.
- All settings and gear are estimated based on genre (modern rock), era (2010s+), and typical studio practices.
- No evidence for effects loop usage or exact signal chain.
- No evidence for pickup selector position; bridge or bridge+middle likely for solo cut.
- No evidence for specific pedal models; Fly Rig 5 SansAmp mentioned as a modern direct solution, but not tied to this recording.
- No evidence for exact amp effects; reverb and delay are estimated as typical for modern rock solos.
- No evidence for live vs. studio differences.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo section features a classic, expressive rock lead tone with moderate gain—crunchy but not saturated—forward mids for presence in the mix, balanced bass and treble, and subtle reverb for space. These settings reflect the genre conventions and production style typical of modern guitar-driven pop/rock, and align with the artist's known preference for articulate, melodic solos.
