Notes & Caveats
- No direct evidence for amp model, pedalboard, or exact settings for this solo; all settings estimated based on typical modern country/rock studio tones with a Les Paul-style guitar.
- No pedal or effect model confirmed for this specific recording; effects below are based on what is audible in the solo and typical for the genre.
- No pickup selector position confirmed, but bridge pickup is most likely for solo cut and clarity.
- No explicit mention of effects loop or signal chain order in available sources.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo section of 'The Coldest Thing' features a warm, blues-rock lead tone with moderate breakup, forward mids, and a balanced EQ—typical of modern Texas country/rock production. Parker Ryan favors edge-of-breakup to mild crunch tones with some ambience, matching these settings.
