I have a 1963 Fender Bassman, and I've been told he used one on Voodoo Chile. So how did he get that delicious tone with one? What am I doing wrong?

You have to get the volume up, its a natural sort of distortion, so i would crank it and maybe a fuzz face, for some added color, but def not a distortion pedal, its just not the same as a overdriven amp.
