From Leño (1979). Leño is the debut studio album by Spanish hard rock band Leño. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JTM45 2245 Reissue, the rig we use for Leño's other songs from Leño, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Este Madrid" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Este Madrid" 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.
