Recording notes

From Imperfecto extraño (2017). Imperfecto extraño is a studio album by the Mexican rock band Enjambre, released on 21 April 2017 by EMI. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for Enjambre's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
