here is a quote from Guitar Player jan.'84: AB describing his onstage/studio equipment p.80- ...number 3 is my Foxx[Tone Machine]fuzztone. That's the sound in "Big Electric Cat" and "Paint the Road". "i always use it w/ the high octave sustain switch on. its my favorite effect, and not an easy one to find these days. i'm also daisy-chaining the Foxx-tone into an MXR 10-band graphic equalizer so that i can eq it." i know i'm getting into minutia here but AB is/was a great looper guitar guy,so... s > I had always been under the assumption that he got the octave sound out >of > the GR300 myself but, since someone brought up the possibility of the >Foxx > Tone Machine. I got to thinking that it could possibly be that or maybe >he > just conciously or unconciously modeled his GR patch around the FTM >sound or > something like it.
