Entre Dos Tierras amp settings — Fender Champion 40
The Héroes del Silencio guitar tone for “Entre Dos Tierras”, dialed in for a Fender Champion 40 with a Ibanez GIO GRG170DX. Studio version, Senderos de Traición (1990) — iconic intro/arpeggio riff
Gibson Les Paul Custom / Fender Stratocaster HSS into Marshall JCM800 / Roland JC-120 with Boss CH-1 Super Chorus and Boss DD-3 Digital Delay
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|

| Bass | 5 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 5 |
01Boss CH-1 Super Chorus
In front of amp input — critical for Juan Valdivia's signature lush texture
02Boss DD-8 Digital Delay
Set mode to Standard (or Warm); tempo is ~166 BPM, set delay time to ~360ms for rhythmic repeats
The Fender Champion 40 has a 2-band EQ (no physical mid or presence knob), so mid and presence are set to null while Treble is boosted to 7 to match Juan Valdivia's bright, chimey bite. Channel 1 Blackface clean provides the necessary high-headroom platform without unwanted breakup. Your owned Boss CH-1 and Boss DD-8 perfectly replicate the essential chorus and rhythmic digital delay core of the song.
