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. Set the amp clean, with the gain barely up and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Tengo una chica" 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.
