and distortion pedals where used by plenty of bands in 60's and 70's, cream, hendrix, zeppelin, sabbath, rush, skynyrd, and the list goes on.
just cause it isn't the level or distortion isn't as high and they didn't drive em like a gas pedal, they where still used by the masses
there is a huge history of it, starting with a british navey underwater worker named Roger Mayer but that story is all a purple haze  and will take me a good hour to write about, maybe I should make a post about the history of modern rock, unlike how the masses think eddie kramer isn't the godfather of sound, nor is sabbath the first metal band  |
this is the only album i have from them but secret treaties is next on the list (i was holding them both trying to decide which one to get).
with the distortion pedal thing, i just meant that it wasn't a main element in band's tool boxes as it is today. then it seemed to be more of a fuzz box than anything. Their distortion in those days was all by their amp settings for the most part since tubes don't really do much to produce a clean signal the way solid state does
and het, i don't question the snl skits, i just laugh at them
