Notes

Studio recording, 2020s era. Shaun Lopez is known to use the FM9 for both live and studio, with additional analog pedals for textures. No evidence of traditional tube amp on this recording; all amp/effects likely via FM9 and select pedals. Gear confirmed for Crosses studio work, but exact FM9 amp model/patch not specified.

Difficulty

The solo is moderately challenging due to its use of ambient effects, expressive phrasing, and the need to control sustain and feedback. While not technically fast or complex, the integration of effects and dynamic control raises the difficulty above basic solos.
