Black Tambourine

Could just imagine how loud it must be to get all that feed back that even the feed back gets feed back; and then compressing it down nearly more than half way just to keep some harmony. Perfectly composed arrangements of sound, add the sweet high reverb vocals with those drums and that bass, and you've got a killer sound. Thankfully a member was kind enough to let us know what made those sounds ... 

"we didn't have that impressive an array of pedals. on the old stuff i think it was mostly a Boss TurboOverdrive, and for the Ramones covers i *think* it was an MXR Distortion, and maybe one other, though i can't remember for sure. pretty basic! ... we probably just borrowed gear from whoever we played with. the guitar was mostly my mid-60s Epi Casino, though Arch had (and and still has) an 80s vintage solid body something or other he might have played on his songs. though i don't think we switched out much. the guitar amp would have been my MusicMan 2x12" combo, with just the Turbo Overdrive. no other pedals or effects."  - Black Tambourine
