I happened to hit something that sounded like a motorcycle, and everyone yelled “STOP!” all at the same time. I tuned the Junior down to Open D, and started dinking around with a slide I was probably doing Johnny Winter riffs. I used that amp so much I blew it up several times before I finally got rid of it. Follow up to the tweed Bandmaster story, as Ive fallen down the Tone Talk rabbit hole. I’d gotten it for ninety dollars, and when I bought it, it was covered with woodtone Contact adhesive paper! The Contact paper peeled right off it didn’t leave any residue and the tweed looked brand new.

And I have memories of Don crawling up in the attic, crawling around in the room and spreading out packing blankets to dampen it just the way he wanted it. There were live echo chambers.live rooms that had speakers and microphones in them and they were called you know, live rooms. "I mean I have memories of Don Landee crawling around.you've got to remember this is 1973, and there wasn't any such thing as digital reverb. The reverb for the Montrose album was done in the Sunset Sound live reverb chamber and so was the reverb for the first Van Halen album. From Ronnie Montrose interviews it is a Les Paul (and other guitars) into a Big Muff into a Bandmaster.
