The County Center show was awesome and Al Jardine said onstage that they were last here in 1967 touring with the Alarm Clock and Buffalo Springfield.

Very primitive, which ever one it was, it was one of the first fuzz's ever made. I used to have an original silver FT Soul Bender (stolen) it made my strat sound like a Les Paul through a hi gain amp just an amazing smooth rich fuzz. BTW, I'm sure you know there were quite a few version of the tone bender as well which all sound different. But heres a trick you may already know and its what hendrix did you crank up the pedal gain and use your volume pot to dial in how much fuzz you want, all the way up is feed back territory Also on the recording of the new CD, I used a 97 FuzzFactory, also a cool fuzz.

Is it the Fulltone soul bender that you use? Cause each Clone has different transistors with different gains so that can be a big difference to making it feedback early The sola colorsound tone bender sounds just like Ed king in strawberry alarm clock, I'm guessing that is the pedal he used on the strawberry alarm clock albums It's amazing how the colorsound tone bender pedal makes the guitar feedback at low volumes. It is a different kind of fuzz box than most it seems, cause most fuzz boxes don't feedback unless you turn the amp to 10 and stand next to the amp. Thanks for the info.

This type of pedal creates a very rich and full sound and is great for feedback!! Its a less buzzy fuzz, although you can get that sound as well, by turning the tone knob to the left creating more treble or high end. Hope this helps.

You sounded like Ed King guitar tone with jimi hendrix feedbacking tones Is it a sustain pedal or feedbacker pedal you use? How do you get feedback and long sustain at a low volume?

You sounded like Ed King guitar tone with jimi hendrix feedbacking tones

Is it a sustain pedal or feedbacker pedal you use?

I hope that someone posts the lyrics to some of their more obscure songs, because there are a lot of songs from them that i can't find the lyrics to online--anywhere. for example, just the other day i was looking for "curse of the Witches". i found a list of all their songs on various lyric websites, but the actual lyrics weren't there. there are a few song with small vocal parts that i can't really understand, and it kind of annoys me. (of course, the lyrics to their hits like "incense and peppermints" are listed) I love this band’s music.
