Studio recording, 2017 era. Aaron Marshall is known to use Mayones Regius Core 7 with Bare Knuckle Silo pickups and Fractal Axe-Fx III for both live and studio, with the Axe-Fx III being the primary amp/effects source for the album 'The Way Forward' which includes 'Touch and Go'. No evidence of analog amps or pedals used in the studio for this solo; all effects and amp tones are from the Axe-Fx III.

Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source lists exact knob settings for the solo section of 'Touch and Go'; amp and effect settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical Axe-Fx III/modern prog metal usage.
  • ⚠️Pedal/effect models are inferred from Aaron Marshall's known rig and what is clearly audible in the solo; all effects are likely from the Axe-Fx III, not standalone pedals.
  • ⚠️No explicit pickup selector position is stated, but bridge pickup is strongly inferred from tone and genre.
  • ⚠️No evidence of analog amps or pedals used in the studio for this track; all tones/effects are from the Axe-Fx III.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Aaron Marshall of Intervals typically uses a tight, articulate high-gain tone with moderate mids, controlled bass, and slightly boosted treble/presence for clarity, especially in solos. The solo in 'Touch and Go' is dry, precise, and modern, matching these settings; reverb is minimal, as is common in modern prog/djent mixes.
