Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for the 'Teratai' solo. Gear and settings are estimated based on genre, era, and common knowledge of Ramli Sarip's gear in the early 1980s.
- No pedal or effect model is confirmed for this specific recording. Effects are inferred from audio and typical classic rock setups.
- Settings are estimated using typical Marshall JMP settings for classic rock solos in the 1980s.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo in 'Teratai' by Sweet Charity features a classic late-70s/early-80s Malaysian rock tone: crunchy but not high-gain, with warm mids and a singing sustain. The amp settings reflect a British-style amp (likely Marshall), with mids pushed for vocal quality, moderate bass for fullness, and moderate reverb for space typical of the era's production.
