From V (1991). V is the fifth studio album by the Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana, released on December 15, 1991 by EMI-Odeon. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Legião Urbana's other songs from V, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
