Notes & Caveats
- No direct sources confirm the exact guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal models used on the 'Sultan' solo.
- No numeric amp or pedal settings found in any source; all values estimated based on genre, era, and typical Bollywood studio practices.
- No official rig rundown, interview, or recording session details available for this song/solo.
- Effects inferred from audible characteristics in the recording; pedal/amp models are unknown.
- If more specific information becomes available, these estimates should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo guitar in 'Sultan' has a classic rock/blues-rock crunch with a warm, mid-forward tone and moderate clarity, typical of Indian film rock productions from the 2010s. The amp settings reflect a crunchy but not high-gain sound, with boosted mids and bass for body, moderate treble for smoothness, and subtle reverb for space without washing out the solo.
