From Doble Vida (1988). Doble Vida is the fourth studio album by Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, released on 15 September 1988 by Discos CBS. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the rig we use for Soda Stereo's other songs from Doble Vida, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
