How it’s played

bright driving norteno-punk crunch distortion. This shapes how hard the amp is pushed and where the EQ sits for the Ingrata sound.

What makes the Ingrata part tricky

fast punky strum, tight timing, feel. GuitarToneAdapt gets the tone right so you can focus on the playing.

Note: Ingrata song-specific gear is not documented — this is an educated estimate from Cafe Tacvba approach: a bright, driving medium crunch with modulation and analog delay, treble up, fast punky strumming. Not high-gain., Use a bright crunch, medium gain, treble up, add some chorus/modulation and analog delay; strum fast and punky., Settings are estimated, not from an official rig rundown.
