Footnotes

From his time with Taste in the late 60s to the mid-70s, Rory used a Rangemaster Treble Booster with his Vox AC30 and Fender Tweed amps and it was integral to his sound.

"I found that when using the treble booster, that along with the treble boost (on a Vox AC30) you got a built-in gain, because the transistors were fairly primitive. If I used the normal input - which was very bassy, as opposed to the brilliant input- I could get that nice rough edge without getting into a very fuzzy sound. I used that for years."
- Rory Gallagher.
