This goes hand in hand with "attitude" when it comes to guitar players. LOL and this goes hand in hand with 'attitude' when it comes to engineers. Just heard (again) on the radio some folklore regarding Keith Richards getting "knocked out" by a shock off a mic with a ground-fault-power-problem, lying there semi-comatose for 7 minutes, then getting up and carrying on playing his guitar as if nothing had happened. Truth be known, it did actually kill him - he's looked post-mortem pretty much ever since. Mind you, he looked a bid ghoulish before too ... geoff |

Guys like you usually fall into two categories. 1. Repressed homos that have to talk big to overcome their inner feelings. Tough talk makes them feel that no one will question their true gayness. Uh-oh...it's Ye Olde "You're Gay" post. 2. Small penis syndrome. Or, the very close related small man syndrome. Angry, mad, bad temper....the signs are overwhelming. Side order of Ye Olde "You Have a Small Penis" post. Actually, your penis size is inversely proportional to the size of your output transformer. Ye Olde "If you've got a big OT, you don't need a big dick" post. -dim (who pots his lil' OT's in big cans) (Is that a 300B in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?) |

In article , Roger W. Norman
wrote: A more appropriate assessment is that a tube amp fails in a predictable way, and as it fails (speakers break up, transformer sags, etc) it produces a sound that seems to emanate from the interaction of the player, guitar and amp. And the story is that when recording the Marty Robbin's "Don't Worry 'Bout Me" the bass player hit a note and it was distorted. A tube had fallen out. He put it back, and then the producer decided he liked it better with it out. Thus the first 'fuzztone' was born. A few days later Grady Martin recorded a song featuring this new sound called "The Fuzz". This dates to about 1958 - and remember playing both on the radio then. Of course only one becamse a hit.
