Silicon Fuzz
Did Tommy Bolin use a Fuzz Face or the Sam Ash Fuzz on Billy Cobham's Spectrum album?
I heard he switched at some point in 73 or 74 to the Sam Ash Fuzz. But I think his distorted tone is best on the Spectrum album. Also was his Fuzz Face a silicon transistor version?
From Wikipedia:
Bolin played mostly Fender Stratocaster guitars, favoring those with maple fingerboards and even had one fitted with a Telecaster neck. He also had a Les Paul Goldtop guitar and a guitar made by a Japanese luthier that he used on the Deep Purple MK IV tour in Japan.
For amplifiers and effects, Bolin primarily used Hiwatt amps and cabinets and 100 watt DR03 heads. He was known for his trademark use of a Maestro Echoplex which he had mounted on a stand on stage. Throughout Zephyr, Energy, The James Gang, his solo work and Deep Purple, his speeding up of the echo repeats are an exciting addition to his playing. 'Quadrant 4' with Billy Cobham is a great example of this.
Bolin also used a Sam Ash fuzz tone and was known to turn up the bass and lower the treble response of his amplifiers, creating a smooth rounded tone which complimented his legato style of playing.

Thanks for this article. I would also like to say that it can often be hard while you are in school and merely starting out to establish a long credit standing. There are many students who are just simply trying to pull through and have a lengthy or favourable credit history is often a difficult thing to have.
certainly like your website however you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very bothersome to tell the reality nevertheless I’ll definitely come back again.
