Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms exact guitar, amp, or pedal models for the 'WANTCHU' solo. Gear listed on Equipboard is general and not tied to this specific recording.
- Settings estimated based on genre (indie/alt pop), era (2020s), and audible tone in the solo section.
- Effects inferred from critical listening: delay and reverb are clearly audible, but pedal/amp models are unknown.
- No evidence of live rig or specific pedalboard for this song section.
- No numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on typical studio crunch tones for this genre.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Keshi's solo tone in 'WANTCHU' is clean but with a touch of breakup, warm mids, and a smooth, slightly bright top end typical of modern R&B/pop guitar. The reverb is lush but not overwhelming, and the amp settings reflect a balanced, expressive tone with clarity and space.
