From Despedazado por Mil Partes (1996). Heavy, bluesy Argentine rock with a thick, overdriven guitar tone. The rig on this recording isn't documented, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s into a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set a medium-high crunch on the bridge pickup and keep the low end tight. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.
