Notes

Studio recording, 1988, Doble Vida album. Gear confirmed for this era and album; solo section features heavy, saturated tone. No explicit pedalboard photos from the studio, but effects are clearly audible and consistent with Cerati's known setup at the time.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level phrasing, expressive bends, and precise timing to match the delay repeats, but does not involve advanced shred techniques or extreme speed.
