A track from Con Todo El Mundo, Khruangbin's second album, released on 26 January 2018. Guitarist Mark Speer plays clean, reverb-washed single-note lines over the band's dub-influenced rhythm section. The sources available here don't name his guitar or amp, so the rig is a suggestion. Use a clean neck-pickup Stratocaster-style tone with plenty of spring reverb and a touch of delay, and keep the notes light and spacious. No transcription could be checked, so no tuning is given.
Common Questions About the "Cómo Me Quieres" Tone
What guitar did Khruangbin use on "Cómo Me Quieres"?
The guitar on "Cómo Me Quieres" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Fender American Vintage '57 Stratocaster (AVRI Reissue) above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Cómo Me Quieres" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 2.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 6. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Cómo Me Quieres" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Cómo Me Quieres" 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.
What effects are on "Cómo Me Quieres"?
The recording has reverb and delay on it. No source names the unit behind them, so this page doesn't guess one. ToneMirror maps each effect onto your rig - a pedal you own, your amp's own controls, or a block on a modeler - and says plainly when your rig can't make one.
