@strandwolf I know what you mean, I love that early rock and roll sound. I really love clean sound like the surf band music, too. And RnB and Motown was based on having a clean sound. I think too many band in the last 40 years relied way too heavily on distortion which is a same. As a guitarist, I use to really love distortion, but even I go tired of that same sound all the time even as early as 2 years into playing guitar. But, I think 60s distortion was different and my favorite in some ways.

@fatcatbuzz I know, but I personally am not a fan of pedal distortion . The overdriven sound of maxx-ed out early Gibson, Magnatone, Fender, etc. '50s amps sounds more organic to me. Plenty of wild sounds by the likes of Mickey Baker, Ike Turner, Dick Dale, Travis Wammack, Wild Jimmy Spruill (check out his instrumental "Scratchin'", he was an influence on Hendrix) predate that 1965 point, where garage rock hit upon the heavier technique, which was VERY effective sometimes, I admit.

@strandwolf True, but I love the distortion age of rock and roll. Let me rephrase, 1965 to me is when rock and roll started getting interesting. From 1965 to 1970, there will never be a moment like that in music ever again.

@fatcatbuzz I think it was fine a dozen years before this.

Awesome. Just when rock and roll was getting good.
