From Corazones (1990). Corazones (Spanish for "Hearts") is the fourth studio album by the Chilean rock band Los Prisioneros. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Telecaster Plus through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Los Prisioneros' other songs from Corazones, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 4.5, Mid 4, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 4.5. 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 "Amiga Mía" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Amiga Mía" 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.
