“One thing I won’t waver from is achorus effect on my clean tone. I love the underlying sadness it gives, even if you’re playing something happy”: Los Bitchos guitarist Serra Petale on repurposing ’80s sounds and the tone so good she wanted to eat it

Los Bitchos' Serra Petale gets the party started with her neo-retro Italia electric guitar.

Two years after their sparkling debut album, Los Bitchos are back with more luscious guitar textures and feel-good vibes with its followup, Talkie Talkie.

For guitarist Serra Petale, that meant pushing their funk disco pomp to quirky new dimensions – and never turning her chorus pedal off.
