Notes & Caveats

⚠️No direct source confirms exact pedal or amp settings for 'Mariquita' solo; values estimated based on typical Marcovich/Heritage/Marshall setup for early 1990s Caifanes.
⚠️No explicit pedalboard or effects chain for this song's solo found in sources; effects inferred from audio and era.
⚠️If more specific studio documentation emerges, settings and effects should be updated.
⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Saúl Hernández's solo tone on 'Mariquita' features a classic rock crunch with warm mids and moderate gain, typical of early 90s Mexican rock production. The amp settings reflect his preference for a mid-forward, expressive lead sound with moderate ambience and clarity, likely using a Marshall or similar British-style amp.
