Quoting from the above:
> To the left of the control room, Ed King played the song’s signature guitar lick on a late ’60s Fender Strat that went through a Fender Twin amp, also miked with a U87.
“Because the rhythm part was not exceptionally loud, I padded the microphone down and put it close to the cabinet,†Mills remarks. “That was it – just one mic.â€

> Mills: “King’s first attempt at the long solo was the one that you hear on the record. The band members were in the control room when he did that, and at the end they pretty much fell on the floor – they were just knocked out. However, [producer] Al Kooper thought there was something wrong with it. He wanted Ed to do another solo, so that’s what Ed did and I guess it was put on another track, but to the best of my knowledge the solo that was used was the very first one that he did. That’s what Ed remembers and that’s what I remember.â€

> In interviews, King has also stated that, since his Strat had bad pickups, he was forced to crank up the volume on his amp [for the solo]. “His Fender Twin was on the left-hand side of the control room,†Mills confirms, “and he had to turn it almost wide open to get any sustain.†[That's loud!]

> Allen Collins and Gary Rossington each overdubbed rhythm guitars going through Marshall amps. [Aha!]

No effects man
