From Poetics (2009). Poetics is the fifth studio album by Mexican rock band Panda, released on 22 September 2009 through Movic Records and EMI Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 22 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Panda's other songs from Poetics, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Conversación Casual" Tone
What guitar did Panda use on "Conversación Casual"?
The guitar on "Conversación Casual" (released 2009) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 22 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Conversación Casual" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 4.5, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 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 "Conversación Casual" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Conversación Casual" 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.
