From Pega con fuerza (1985). Pega con fuerza is a 1985 studio album by Obús. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Obús' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
