From En un lugar de la marcha (1985). En un lugar de la marcha (English: Somewhere in the march) is the fourth studio album by Spanish heavy metal band Barón Rojo, released in 1985 by Chapa Discos. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Barón Rojo's other songs from En un lugar de la marcha, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Hijos de Caín" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Hijos de Caín" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
