Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the electric guitar, pickups, amp, or pedal/effects used on the studio recording of 'Bajo Los Árboles.'
- All amp and pedal settings are estimated based on typical alternative/rock tones from the 2010s and the band's style.
- The only confirmed gear is for the MTV Unplugged (acoustic) version, not the studio electric version.
- No evidence found for specific pedals or effects; effects listed below are based on what is audible in the recording.
- Pickup choice is estimated based on typical rock rhythm tone.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff in 'Bajo Los Árboles' has a classic rock edge-of-breakup to light crunch tone, with warm mids and balanced highs typical of Los Bunkers' British-influenced alternative rock sound. Their era and production style favor a natural amp reverb and moderate presence, with the gain set just high enough for dynamic riff clarity without heavy distortion.
