Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp model or settings found for the studio recording; amp and settings estimated based on typical 1980s studio practice for acoustic-electric guitars in rock.
- No pedal or effects evidence found in sources for this song's riff section; effects inferred from audio and genre.
- Pickup type confirmed as piezo (acoustic-electric), not magnetic single-coil or humbucker.
- If a subtle chorus or reverb is present, it may be from studio processing, not a pedal or amp effect.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Gustavo Cerati's tone on 'Lo Que Sangra (La Cúpula)' is classic late-80s Argentinian rock: edge-of-breakup to light crunch, with pronounced mids and a slightly bright, articulate top end. The amp is likely a British-style combo (Vox or Marshall), with moderate bass, strong mids, and subtle reverb for ambience, matching the production and genre conventions of the era.
