From Sueño Stereo (1995). Sueño Stereo is the seventh and final studio album recorded by Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, released on 21 June 1995. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Soda Stereo's other songs from Sueño Stereo, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
