From Clics Modernos (1983). Clics modernos is the second solo studio album by Argentine musician Charly García, released on November 5, 1983. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Charly García's other songs from Clics modernos, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "No Soy un Extraño" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else.
