Neil Young & Crazy Horse -Cinnamon Girl
Fun Fact: That's Willie Nelson's lad Micah on the guitar.
I saw Crazy Horse at the Sydney Entertainment Centre once, and a few people walked out because it wasn't Neil on an acoustic with his harmonica. They couldn't deal with the whole arena physically rumbling when Neil messed around in double drop D tuning.
I have no sympathy. It said 'Crazy Horse' right there on the ticket π€·ββοΈ

Pretty sure this was the show I was at:

Master of sustain & feedback
Indeed.
A fair bit of it is his cool 'whizzer' thing, apparently. I love the concept: you hit a pedal switch, and the mechanical device on the amp physically turns the knobs (there aren't many on a '59 Deluxe so it's pretty simple). Genius.
That and the mini humbucker in his LPs. I have a Firebird with those in it and can attest that they're microphonic in a really good way if, say, you turn your Marshall JTM Studio 20 up to 8.5-9 or so and stand in the same room. π
Very cool! I can get nice effects by kicking the shit out of the reverb spring. π
I β€οΈ the BOINGGG! thing π
We were actually messing around with that yesterday because the Moog Grandmother synth has a built-in spring reverb and we discovered that if you kick the drum throne, I've got it sitting on, the BOINGGG! happens reliably.
Add some verb and modulated delay, and you've got a party π€·ββοΈ

I'm now seriously thinking of taking the mic out of my acoustic and splicing it in on the electric semi I have, putting it in different spots, or just taped down for resonance. Hmmm. Repair bills in my future? π
Thank ye godz the Marshalls are solid. π
@DyDave
You're a bad influence, man. π π
@DyDave
I love the Rust Never Sleeps era and some of the live shows from that tour. H.E.A.V.Y! π
