Ya knew that, so? What does it got to do with speaker?
Anyway what does the early days of overdive/fuzz got to do with this thread?
Its about how you get your favorite overdrive/distortion tone.
And what others do to get that distortion :wink:

Until I get me a Marshall JCM series, I have no choice but to rely on me MG15CDR and Zoom to get the sound I want...
well ... for me.. without a home soundproofed studio ... i rely mainly on dist/od pedals.. i do use tube amps.. so if its a specific tone im heading for... i'll most prob be using my drive pedals for the gain ... and playing around with my Post and Pre gain settings to dial in the tube grunt - at a comfortable volume level.

Then Google about The Kinks and how they used a 10W(?) amp and a penknife to get a "classic" fuzz-distorted tone.
Hey, if Eddie van Halen says they is rocksss, they is rocksss...

At home, a pod.
At gigs an amp (Marshall TSL), no distortion in my efx chain. If the gig provides amps i'll still take the Marshall. It's not the holy grail of distorted tone a la Bogner but it still has a pretty good sound. A lot of your distorted tone comes from your guitar and the way you play it too.
Dreaming of a Bogner Ecstacy but alas....around 3.5k US I think.

Cut and paste from another forum ....funny fella >>>
"When I was a kid in the 1860s we had to build our own vaccuum tubes out of mason jars and nails and we could only do this between winter and spring. In the spring we had to go work in the fields 50 hours a day to grow dirt, and mom needed the jars back to preserve the dirt for winter. We pulled the nails out of Old Man Vesterly's barn with our teeth, and a few times he caught us and chased us off with saltshot in his double-barreled shotgun. We made our own resistors by scraping the carbon off of a burnt piece of wood, and we had to roll up our own capacitors with paper and tin can lids.
This was before our neighbourhood had electricity, so we had to make our own. First we had to have a set of magnets, which we made by hanging lumps of iron in trees and hoping they got struck by lightning. One summer it took us 7 years to get enough magnets to make a generator, and another 3 months to find enough fence wire for the coils. We were sucked up and killed twice by tornadoes while collecting it. This was before cars were invented and nobody could afford a bicycle, so we hand to connect the generator to a pottery wheel and work it with our legs. My brother got caught in the wheel and suffered a compound spinal fracture.
We built amplifiers that were 2 watts, but the watts were smaller in those days. Since we didn't have a speaker we had to put a coil on the underside of a metal shed roof and use it to rattle one of the loose panels. Songs were very short in those days, because there were only two chords in existence, and we didn't have a guitar, just a piece of fence wire nailed to the outside of the shed.
No one came from miles around to throw rotten fruit and dead squirrels at us, and we were grateful, dammit."
