Fuzz Guitar Sounds / Music Machine

Anyone out there know how "The Music Machine" that band from the 60's got their Fuzz Guitar sounds ? Is that a Vox Tone bender, or Dallas Arbiritor Fuzz face? Someone told me that these guys used to build their own pedals. Also it sounds like direct input, not like a amp being miked. This stuff was recorded from '66 to 69, in California ( LA?) So if they put the guitars direct into the board, with a Transistor Fuzz, would that be a tube board of some sort? The engineer credited was Paul Buff, anyone know any details about him , other work, or methods? thanks To my knowledge, some of the fuzz tones were made by fuzz wahs, or volume pedals in conjunction with tuning down, to get a grittier sound. I've tried dozens of boxes and none come closer than the morely fuzz wah, but I'm no expert. |

The OP's nym was actually nmm. Cursory research shows that the tracks were mainly recorded in the RCA Victor studios in an unmentioned location, so, yes, a valve desk and recording chain, though the relevance of that is only that it was the best that could be done with the technology available. Effects were whatever the band wanted to cobble together, and would feed either a mic'd up amp or the board direct via a splitter using what is even now a standard 600 ohm balanced input, though a couple of tracks I've just auditioned on the laptop don't sound that drastically distorted. This was in the days when you added echo by putting a speaker and a microphone in a large, empty, fairly soundproof room with hard walls... Or you used a steel plate if realism wasn't wanted. They had a re-issue in the 1980s, and there was a book in 2000, which may be what gave rise to the OP. -- Tciao for Now! John. |
