From La Invasión de los Blátidos (1992). La Invasión de los Blátidos is the first album by Cuca, a Mexican hard rock group from Guadalajara, Jalisco. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a classic hard-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
