Effects & Signal Chain

No effects used for this tone

Notes

Studio recording, 2001 (Sonic Adventure 2 era). Jun Senoue is known for plugging straight into his Soldano SLO-100 for recording, with minimal or no pedals. Pedalboard use began after 2017, so not relevant for this recording. No evidence of live rig for this song's solo. All evidence points to direct guitar-to-amp signal chain for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced lead guitar technique, including fast alternate picking, fluid legato, and expressive phrasing, making it challenging for intermediate players.
