GregHOST
Holy crap.
Jon SnodgrassGUEST
This is my Fender Twin that I don't use.
Jon SnodgrassGUEST
It's too much.
Jon SnodgrassGUEST
This is a Pignose, which I think I used on one of the guitars.

Jon SnodgrassGUEST
wow.
GregHOST
So
Jon SnodgrassGUEST
yeah, that Fender Twin that I showed you, that came from the sound guy at the old Blue Note.
Jon SnodgrassGUEST
Nice.
Jim LillHOST
This is only for SEO.
Jim LillHOST
But it says Tom Johnson's rhythm guitar anchors the groove with a bright percussive chucked tone using a late 60s Gibson Les Paul bridge pickup through a clean silver face Fender Twin.
Jim LillHOST
The part is double tracked and panned wide.
Jim LillHOST
A rhythmic Fox 846 was swept in sync with each strum adding the song's signature whack-a-chack-a texture.

They did it in chunks, where it was like, okay, well, there's this section, and even though it has all these little parts, the end thing is like, well, it did this to your sound, and then there's this section, and even though it had all these little parts, in the end, it just kind of did this to your sound, and they added that up, and my intuition says that, like, That probably got them 98% of the way there in most cases.
Jim LillHOST
Maybe not in the weirdest of cases.
Jim LillHOST
But, like, I bet that the Fender Twin on this is pretty good.
Jim LillHOST
I haven't tested it yet.
Ted NugentGUEST
Billy Levice, Mitch Ryder on lead vocals, destroying 10 tambourines per song.
Ted NugentGUEST
Joe Kubrick on a Gibson 335 through a Fender Twin.
Ted NugentGUEST
Earl Elliott playing a Rickenbacker bass through a B18, an Ampeg.
Ted NugentGUEST
And Jim McCarty playing a Gibson Birdland through a Fender Twin.
Ted NugentGUEST
And the tightness, the authority of Mitch Ryder's overall musical delivery was so inspiring that i studied everything that they did and then when they changed their name to mitch ryan the detroit wheels and my dad was relocated to chicago where i started the amboy dukes in 1964 i i bought a ticket the only ticket i've ever bought to a concert to go see mitch rider in the detroit wheels because i've been performing all my life and i get to go to concerts i have the greatest bands in the world that i perform with her and so i get to see the best of the best every night when i'm on tour But I bought a ticket to Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels and they just floored me.
Ted NugentGUEST
They were so good.
Zach BroylesHOST
Raspy and awful.
Zach BroylesHOST
And having played some vintage Fender Twins, when we were in Chicago and did the Reverb CME event a few years ago, when I was down in the basement, I didn't come back for a long time.
Zach BroylesHOST
I'm sorry.
Zach BroylesHOST
We had all this shit.
Jim LillHOST
Yeah, I
Jim LillHOST
remember reading in the thing that like, oh yeah, Andy Summers, I started with Fender Twins and then I went to Marshalls because we played stadiums.
Jim LillHOST
I see a Marshall amp in the background here.
Jim LillHOST
He doesn't sound like he's going through a Marshall amp.
Jonathan WesselGUEST
To, to me, people are like, "You can't tell the difference," and I'm like, "No, I can 100% tell the difference between here's a modern track where they just, they recorded it DI straight to the board, and then they slapped some sort of modeler on it or some sort of amp sim plugin." Anakin was always tube amps [laughs] and big tube amps.
Jonathan WesselGUEST
That, that three-amp sound was, got, like, an Orange Rocker 30, got a Mesa Boogie Dual Rect, and the most, the majority of those songs, and I got an old Fender Twin, and it was a Fender Twin, which is obviously just a clean amp, but two or three different guitar pedals to make the fuzz on it.
Jonathan WesselGUEST
Usually either an old-school Fuzz Face, um, or obviously I think anybody who knows guitar sounds can hear a Big Muff in there.
Jonathan WesselGUEST
That's where that came from.
34 MINS LATER
Jonathan WesselGUEST
You know, we say that.
Jonathan WesselGUEST
We talk about bands traveling with gear.
Jonathan WesselGUEST
I don't think I would be setting up and lugging around two half stacks and a-- God, that Fender Twin weighs, like, 120 pounds, a little 212 combo.
Jonathan WesselGUEST
Um, I don't, [laughs] I don't know if I would wanna mess with the logistics of trying to set that up and then also relying on a sound guy to understand how to blend the three together.
ChristopherHOST
Now, keep in mind, he's in his early 20s during the 3-by-3 period.
ChristopherHOST
Ernie's described using a Fender Stratocaster, a Big Muff fuzz pedal, a Maestro phase shifter, and a Fender Twin amplifier for this recording.
ChristopherHOST
The Big Muff gives the guitar its rough, fuzzy edge.
ChristopherHOST
The phase shifter adds that swirling movement, and when Ernie opens up in the solo, that sound comes all together.
Leighton AutryGUEST
Yeah
Justin RossHOST
... a Twin, a Fender Twin.
Leighton AutryGUEST
Yeah.
Justin RossHOST
Yeah.
