From Mucho (2008). Mucho (A lot) is the 9th album by Argentine rock group Babasónicos. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for Babasónicos' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
