Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar, pickup, or amp model used on the studio recording of 'Soft Spot' riff.
- Strymon Iridium is confirmed as part of Keshi's gear, but not specifically for this song/recording.
- No numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on typical clean pop/R&B tones and Strymon Iridium/Fender amp sim defaults.
- No pedal or effect settings found for this specific recording; effects inferred from audio and genre conventions.
- Pickup choice is estimated based on tone; not confirmed by source.
- If more direct evidence (studio photos, interviews, or isolated stems) becomes available, update accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Keshi's 'Soft Spot' riff features a clean, slightly warm tone with a touch of breakup, typical of neo-soul/pop production. The mids are forward for clarity, bass is moderate to avoid muddiness, treble is present but not harsh, and reverb is used for a lush, ambient feel. These settings reflect both genre conventions and keshi's usual tone choices.
