From Revolcón (2000). Revolcón is a 2000 studio album by Marea. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Marea's other songs from Revolcón, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
