Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No explicit studio documentation or rig rundown for the 'Re-Recorded' version found; gear and settings estimated based on era, artist interviews, and audible tone.
- No pedalboard or effect model specifics found for the clean section; effects inferred from audio and typical Scorpions studio practice.
- Pickup and amp model inferred from artist's known studio gear and interviews about using vintage Marshall stacks and Flying Vs for classic tones.
- Settings estimated based on typical Marshall JCM800 clean settings and 80s rock clean tones.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The 'Still Loving You (Re-Recorded)' riff tone is a classic 80s/90s high-gain hard rock sound typical of Matthias Jabs and Rudolf Schenker, using a saturated Marshall or ENGL with tight low end, forward mids, and a bright but not harsh top. The reverb is subtle, matching the polished, modernized production of the re-recording.
