Notes

Gear confirmed for live and likely studio use on 'Ang Pinagmulan' solo (2020). No evidence of a traditional amp; amp tones and effects likely from Pocket POD. Guitar confirmed via live video and Equipboard. Effects chain includes DigiTech Whammy and Joyo JF-10 Dyna Compressor. Studio vs live differences not specified, but sources and video evidence suggest similar rig for both.
