Notes

Studio recording, original release era (1982, 'Non mi va' from 'Vado al massimo'). Gear based on typical Vasco Rossi band setup and era, as well as Stef Burns' known use of Stratocaster and Marshall JCM 800 for riff sections. No direct evidence for pedals or effects on this specific recording; settings are estimated based on genre, amp, and era.
