From Agua Maldita (2014). Agua Maldita is Molotov's seventh album, which was released June 10, 2014. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Molotov's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
