The Los Piojos guitar tone for “Tan Solo”, dialed in for a Peavey 6505 with a Fender Jaguar. Studio version, Chactuchac (1992), recorded 1991
Likely a mid-gain tube amp (Marshall-style or similar Argentine-available gear of the era), humbucker-equipped guitar. No verified rig rundown exists for this specific recording.
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 3 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Presence | 4 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 4 |
The 6505 is a high-gain metal amp; the original tone is low-to-mid crunch. Use the Rhythm channel in crunch mode with gain at 3 to avoid overpowering the song's raw, bluesy character. Your Jaguar's single coils are brighter and lower output than the likely humbucker original — mid pushed to 7 compensates, and tone knob rolled to 7 tames the Jaguar's ice-pick highs. Presence kept conservative at 4 to avoid fizz.
