Notes

Studio recording, original release 1982. No direct source confirms exact gear, but period photos and genre conventions strongly suggest Les Paul into Fender Twin Reverb for clean, warm Latin pop/rock tones. No evidence of pedal use in riff section. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and typical Los Bukis studio tones.
