Notes & Caveats
- No direct sources found specifying exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for the studio recording of 'Cárcel, Hospital & Cementerio' riff section.
- All gear and settings are estimated based on typical Los Tres setups, 1990s Chilean rock conventions, and careful listening to the recording.
- No evidence of pedals or effects beyond possible amp spring reverb; no delay, chorus, flanger, or other modulation is audible.
- If future sources provide direct studio documentation, update this entry.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Álvaro Henríquez of Los Tres typically uses Fender amps and Gretsch or Telecaster guitars, favoring a crunchy, mid-forward tone with classic rock and blues influences. The riff section has clear breakup, strong mids, and moderate bass, with just a touch of reverb for space, matching Chilean rock production of the early 90s.
