Notes

Studio recording, 1984 album 'Soda Stereo'. No direct evidence for pedals or amp settings for this specific song/section; inference based on era, genre, and Cerati's known gear for this album. ES-335 with humbuckers is visible in period photos and live videos. JC-120 is widely documented as Cerati's main amp in early Soda Stereo studio work. No evidence of Marshall or high-gain amps for this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast strumming with precise muting and articulation to maintain clarity through the chorus effect, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
