From Hombres G (1985). Hombres G is the debut album released by Spanish rock band Hombres G in 1985. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Kramer Pacer Classic through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the rig we use for Hombres G's other songs from Hombres G, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "Hace un año" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Hace un año" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
