They both played plugged in straight to the amp. What you hear here is just opening op the volume of the guitar to full, with a cranked amp. I can imagine Taylor also turned around to turn the volume higher on the SVT.

The SVT's used by the Stones were demo models, still with the original 6146 tubes. Driven hard, these demo models would overdrive fairly easily (also due to their Baxendall EQ setup), combined with speakers overdrive as they used insufficient powered speaker cabinets. Both Keith and Taylor would only use their volume know to drive the amp. Keith's Dan Armstrong guitar has a 3-way switch that would bypass the volume and tone circuit, yielding more volume. You can hear him flip that switch right before his Sympathy solo.

A question for guitarists re Midnight Rambler on Yaya's

At ca 3:17 (fade in) and 7:47 (solo) we can hear Mick Taylor using some sort of heavy Fuzz-sound.
Did he actually use this on stage or was this edited in the studio ?
Thanks.

I've noticed that before and tried to re create it. The SVT's were brand new then and high powered. I think he's just getting that sound from the tone knob rolled back a bit on his SG. Old bumble-bee caps would do that. It could be the rhythm neck pick up too. I would say most of his guitar playing was flawless so no need for him to do much in the studio on YaYas

The sound Taylor has at 7:47 (solo) is insane.

I remember hearing this unknown new song live for the first time a few weeks earlier. It became an always exciting war horse, but this one is musically rich and very sexy.

I don't have anything to say other than I can't believe Taylor was playing at this level when he was only 20 years old

The SVT's used by the Stones were demo models, still with the original 6146 tubes. Driven hard, these demo models would overdrive fairly easily (also due to their Baxendall EQ setup), combined with speakers overdrive as they used insufficient powered speaker cabinets. Both Keith and Taylor would only use their volume know to drive the amp. Keith's Dan Armstrong guitar has a 3-way switch that would bypass the volume and tone circuit, yielding more volume. You can hear him flip that switch right before his Sympathy solo.

It is a great thread. This type thread was pretty much what ruled 'Tell Me' way back.
