Notes & Caveats
- Exact pedal models for delay and reverb not confirmed for this specific recording; reverb is likely amp-based or from a pedal, as per Guitar World and Equipboard.
- Presence setting not specified in sources; estimated at 5 based on typical Suhr Bella amp settings for this genre.
- Pickup selector not explicitly stated, but neck pickup is strongly indicated by tone descriptors and Mateus's typical solo approach.
- No explicit mention of delay pedal in sources, but short delay is clearly audible in the solo section—model not confirmed.
- Settings are based on Guitar World lesson for Mateus Asato's signature style, which matches the tone of 'The Breakup Song' solo.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Mateus Asato's solo tone in 'The Breakup Song' is warm, dynamic, and edge-of-breakup, typical of his Strat/Tele into a cleanish amp (often a Two-Rock or Suhr), with forward mids, full bass, and smooth highs. The reverb is lush but not overwhelming, and the presence is neutral to let the guitar sing without harshness.
