Note: No direct source specifies the exact amp model within Axe-Fx III or the precise pedal settings for this specific song's riff section., Pedal models and effects chain are inferred from n-buna's general studio rig and pedalboard for Yorushika, not from explicit documentation for this song., Amp settings are estimated based on typical modern rock Telecaster tones and Axe-Fx III usage, with reference to cited gear and genre/era., No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song's riff section; Les Paul is confirmed for other songs only., Effects used are based on pedalboard components and typical audible characteristics in Yorushika's recordings; specific pedal settings are not available., Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. n-buna’s riff tone here is classic Japanese alt-rock: crunchy but not saturated, with forward mids and a slightly bright, clear top end. The bass is balanced to avoid muddiness, and reverb is subtle for space without washing out the attack, matching both the era’s production and the artist’s typical amp voicing.
