From Agitar antes de usar (1988). Agitar antes de usar ("Shake before using") is the fourth studio album recorded by Spanish rock band Hombres G, released in 1988. 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 Agitar antes de usar, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
