From Unidad de desplazamiento (2000). Unidad de desplazamiento is the fourth studio album by the Spanish pop-rock band Los Planetas, released in September 2000. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Los Planetas' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Un buen día" Tone
What guitar did Los Planetas use on "Un buen día"?
The guitar on "Un buen día" (released 2000) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Un buen día" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 4.5, Volume 5.5. 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 "Un buen día" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Un buen día" 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.
