Re: (TV) Tom's Sound

["Russ Van Rooy" <russvr@blarg.net>]

Did either Verlaine or Lloyd ever see fit to use any kind of distortion or
fuzz box ? It's not like I can hear either of them using one. I notice from
the live recordings though ( eg. The Portland 78 version of The Dreams
Dream) that their guitars sound pretty over-driven with a good deal of
distortion. Amps cranked to eleven I suppose . =- Russ
