pianoguyy Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 as with many songs of that era, you turn your amp volume up to ten, which creates a natural distortion. you use a guitar with single coils, which adds fuzz you control the overall volume (and tone) via the guitar's volume and tone knobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbieg001 Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Thank you. I'll try it with a british vox style amp then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 It is the basic scenario for all Beatles, Elvis, Buddy Holly, etc era of music. Individual distortion pedals did not exist. Nor did separate gain stages of an amplifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbieg001 Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Of course, there were no pedals around then so all they had was amps and guitars, ingenuity - and talent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
