- No pedalboard or effects chain for Marcão Britto found for this song/section; no evidence of modulation or time-based effects in the riff.
- Amp model inferred from era and genre; settings estimated based on Marshall JCM900 typical usage in early 2000s Brazilian rock.

- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Charlie Brown Jr.'s 'So Por Uma Noite' riff has a crunchy, mid-forward rock tone typical of late 90s/early 2000s Brazilian alt rock, likely using a Marshall-style amp with moderate gain, solid low end, and prominent mids for punch. The reverb is subtle, just enough for space, and presence is set to add clarity without harshness.
