Notes

Gear inferred from Equipboard and live performance evidence for 'I CARE' era (2021-2022). No direct studio documentation for clean section, but Jackson American Series Virtuoso and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier are confirmed for this song's era. Clean tone likely from Mesa/Boogie channel, as Peavey 6505/5150 are rarely used for cleans. Studio recording context, 2021.
