From Laundry Service (2001). Laundry Service (Spanish: Servicio de Lavandería) is the fifth studio album and first English-language album by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Performer Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Shakira's other songs from Laundry Service, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Te Dejo Madrid" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Te Dejo Madrid" 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.
