Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms the exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for the solo in 'El Aval' by Los Tres. Gear and settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical Chilean rock setups of the mid-1990s.
- No pedalboard or effect model is confirmed for this recording; all effects are inferred from audio and genre conventions.
- If future evidence (photos, interviews, studio notes) emerges, update gear and settings accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Álvaro Henríquez of Los Tres typically uses classic Fender amps and vintage-style guitars, aiming for a warm, bluesy crunch with forward mids and moderate gain. The solo in 'El Aval' has a dynamic, touch-sensitive drive with clear note separation, moderate ambience, and a balanced EQ, consistent with mid-90s Chilean rock production.
