Link Wray Rumble FUZZ!

I like the huge fuzz, the way he grabs attention from the start and how the band works together.

The guitar is a '66/67 Japan Yamaha SG-2 twin single-coil he called, "Screaming Red".
He'd added an onboard distortion in case his valve amp wouldn’t distort.
His Boss Compression Sustainer pedal was on permanently, all knobs at 'max'.

Bass player Hutch Hutchinson, drummer David Weber, from John Cipollina's Copperhead.
