From Azul (1998). Azul (Blue) is the fourth album by Argentine rock band Los Piojos, recorded at Del Cielito Records studio and released in 1998. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Fender Bassman 100 (Silverface, Vintage), the nearest rig we use for Los Piojos' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
