Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for the solo in 'Só Por Uma Noite'.
- Gear and settings are estimated based on Marcão's known rig from the early 2000s, genre conventions, and audio analysis.
- No pedalboard or studio notes for this specific song/solo found in available sources.
- Effects are inferred from audio and typical usage in Brazilian alt-rock of the era.
- Settings are estimated for a Marshall JCM900 with a Stratocaster for high-gain solo work.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Chorão and Marcão's tones in this era favored a crunchy, mid-forward rock sound with enough gain for sustain but not full metal saturation. The solo in 'Só Por Uma Noite' is punchy and articulate, with balanced EQ, moderate presence for clarity, and subtle reverb typical of late-90s/early-2000s Brazilian alt rock production.
