The Lost Ones Weeping amp settings — Yamaha GA-15
The Neri guitar tone for “The Lost Ones Weeping”, dialed in for a Yamaha GA-15 with a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster. Original Vocaloid release by Neru feat. Kagamine Rin (2013) — synthesized/programmed guitar tones, not recorded through real amps
Programmed/synthesized distortion guitar and overdriven guitar via DAW (likely guitar amp simulation VST such as Guitar Rig, Amplitube, or similar). No verified physical amp/pedal rig exists — this is a Vocaloid/electronic production with MIDI-programmed guitar parts, not a live guitar recording.

01Distortion Pedal (Boss DS-1 or similar)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for this tone. The Yamaha GA-15 cannot produce high-gain distortion from its preamp alone. A DS-1, MT-2, or any modern distortion pedal is required to reach the aggressive saturation of the original.
The Yamaha GA-15 is a 15W solid-state practice amp with minimal preamp gain — it tops out at mild crunch even at gain 10. The original is a programmed high-gain tone from an amp simulator plugin, not a real amp. To approximate this, you MUST use an external distortion pedal as your gain source. Amp settings above assume the pedal provides all saturation; amp gain at 7 adds slight edge without mud. Mid at 4 gives the scooped modern character; bass at 6 provides palm-mute thump without overwhelming the small 6.5" speaker.
