From Hermética (1989). Hermética is a 1989 studio album by Hermética. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson King V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Hermética's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
