The Henchmen VI - All of the Day (1967)
A broken link from page 12! waveclipper's post.
He said he thought it was probably a cold FZ-1A...Probably correct - from Wisconsin,
where it can get quite chilly in winter. Love it, in all it's strangulated glory!

Sanford Clark - It's Nothing To Me (1966) Dig the mix with subdued (in the mix) but intense Fuzz-Tone'd steel guitar (arranged by Jimmy Bryant). Gunshots oerfectly placed within the beats. A Floyd Ramsey production.

Re: 1960s Sounds of the Maestro Fuzz Tone FZ-1 & FZ-1A
^ Always loved that track but was enamoured with the trem sound on the rhythm guitar and didn't really pay attention to the fuzz tone sitting in the mix. But now that you point it out, it's awesome. Sanford Clark did some great stuff earlier on with Lee Hazlewood, who later tried to resurrect his career with LHI records. Then he just disappeared.

Re: 1960s Sounds of the Maestro Fuzz Tone FZ-1 & FZ-1A
Yes!!! Isn't that main guitar fantabulous?!
Btw, Is it Tremolo or Vibrato? I think it might be the latter, but curious what others think...
And i must say I'm not 100% that's even a steel guitar with Fuzz-Tone - just a guess, the way he's playing it (whoever it was), is playing similar licks that a harmonica player would play, right? But then some parts just have a resonance like a stringed/guitar. Magnificent production!
At first i was gonna say, it's probably Al Casey on the up-front guitar, and Lee Hazlewood on production, but i looked at Clark's wikipedia and looks like he quit for a few years around 1960 and then did some singles like this, but no mention of Casey and produced by Ramsey for his label, Ramco.
You think that amp is a Magnatone, Fender (brownface) or other?

Sounds like tremolo to me and also, as you say, steel guitar with some tasty fuzz.
