Notes & Caveats
- No direct source specifies the guitar model or pickup type used on the studio recording or live for 'La Torre de Babel' riff section.
- All amp settings are estimated based on typical Fender Twin Reverb usage for 1990s rock and the genre/era, as no numeric settings were found.
- Pedalboard evidence is from 2024 live tour and may not reflect the original 1997 studio recording.
- No explicit evidence of effects (delay, chorus, etc.) in the riff section; only overdrive/boost pedals are confirmed for the tour, not for this specific song/section.
- Pickup selector position is estimated based on tone characteristics audible in the recording.
- If more precise studio information becomes available, these values should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Álvaro Henríquez of Los Tres typically used Fender amps (often a Twin Reverb or similar) with single-coil guitars, favoring a crunchy, mid-forward tone with clarity and bite for riff sections. The 90s Chilean rock production style kept the guitar present but not overly saturated, with moderate reverb for space.
