Notes & Caveats
- No explicit information on amp model, pedalboard, or exact studio signal chain for the solo section.
- No evidence of electric guitar or electric effects used in the solo; all sources and audio indicate acoustic guitar.
- Settings are estimated based on typical acoustic DI/preamp setups for modern rock studio recordings.
- No pedal or amp effect details found for this specific recording; effects_used is based on audio and genre conventions.
- If an electric guitar was used in the solo, there is no documentation or audible evidence in available sources.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. YUNGBLUD's 'Zombie' solo features a modern, crunchy rock lead with forward mids, tight bass, and enough gain for sustain without getting overly saturated. The tone is present and cutting but not harsh, with subtle reverb for space, matching both his typical gear (Marshall/Orange style amps) and contemporary alt-rock production.
