Notes & Caveats
- No evidence of electric guitar or amp used in the studio recording of the riff section; all sources confirm Guild F212XL 12-string acoustic.
- No evidence of pedals or effects used in the studio version; settings estimated for acoustic guitar natural tone.
- If live, guitar may be DI'd or mic'd, but this profile is for the original studio recording.
- No amp settings are relevant for pure acoustic studio recording; values given are for reference if DI'd or lightly EQ'd.
- No pickup selector on acoustic; pickup listed is for possible live amplification.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Álvaro Henríquez typically uses Fender amps (often Twin Reverb or similar) with single-coil guitars, favoring a warm, mid-forward, edge-of-breakup tone for Los Tres' riff-driven tracks. The 'Follaje en el Invernadero' riff is punchy and dynamic, with clear note separation, moderate warmth, and subtle ambience, reflecting classic rock/blues amp settings from the 90s Chilean alt-rock scene.
