you can get that sound. you just need the effects. unless he's got a small board stuffed in that guitar and dials up a sound he needs he can't make a guitar sound like that with just a metal pick. don't be afraid to chase the tone thats where the fun is.....you might need some cash though. we had cool effects 25 years ago. didgitch had some great rack effects in the 80's.

Floyd.....I remember Link Wray's 'Rawhide' from its debut day on 'American Bandstand'
They never played live then, and he had a Danelector Guitarlin over his shoulder. I had never seen anything the likes of it before. So we speculated that the distorted souind was the guitar, because fuzzboxes and the moon landing were still 10 years off. The great secret, learned years later was that he had intentially torn/poked a hole in the amp's speaker cone. With all the speculation abouts gadgets, what you seek might be as simple as a loose bolt.

I suppose I'll pick up a POS $20 used amp and try screwing around with it, see if I can get anything. 8)

I am sure it is a cheap horn speaker somewhere in the setup. A speaker like that can have a dramatic effect.


I shall also play around with this.....


I'm also speculating that he may have had some special pickups or some kind of crazy azz wiring going on.... perhaps he tried his hand at making his own pups and liked the chaotic, mind raping result?

I'm also definitely going to play around with metal picks... supposedly he used an aluminum pick with a notch cut into it....
