From El mar no cesa (1988). El mar no cesa is the debut album of Spanish rock band Héroes del Silencio, released on 31 October 1988 by EMI. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the rig we use for Héroes del Silencio's other songs from El mar no cesa, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
