Merci Jubaea c'est cool.
Et oui il y a bien quelques modifications par rapport au texte initial.
Voici ce qui est écrit dans la première version :
"Think For Yourself' was another Harrison original recorded for Rubber Soul, this one featuring the new sound of a fuzz bass. "Fuzz" is generally used to describe electronic distortion, normally available by using a box plugged between guitar and amp. Ken Townsend, ex-Abbey Road technician, explains that the studio's owner, EMI, built their own distortion boxes, which at times The Beatles would use. However, it's possible that the fuzz-box used on the bass for this song was a prototype Vox Tone Bender unit.
Dick Denney of Vox says that he delivered the first Vox Tone Bender prototypes to the group in the early part of 1965. As we've already seen, Harrison and Lennon had fiddled around with a Maestro Fuzz Tone unit as early as 1963. Denney recalls that Vox's Tone Bender began life around 1962 when the company was sent a Maestro to try out.
Vox owner Tom Jennings declared the sample American unit useless: surely, he said, their job was to gel rid of distortion? Jennings was of the old school, and did not understand the desire among the new pop musicians to find unusual sounds, including electronically "incorrect" ones.
Denney then made up a trial Vox fuzz-box based on the Maestro, but did nothing further. "However, there was a rogue working for us," he says, "and he grabbed hold of the circuit diagram and started making up fuzz-boxes and selling them for himself. We later introduced it ourselves as the Vox Tone Bender." In 1967 Vox would offer their Tone Bender for 10 guineas (£10.50, about $25 then; around £115 or $160 in today's money)."
Donc effectivement il s'est basé sur les dires de Hurst (le"rogue"en question dans la 1ere version
) pour réviser ce passage.
Et en effet que ce soit Denney ou Hurst, il s'agirait de toutes manières d'une Tonebender dans les 2 cas.
A part qu'après tout ca pourrait aussi bien être une maestro Gibson qui trainait dans les studios Apple depuis 63.
Modèle de fuzz avec lequel les Stones ont quand même enregistré "Satisfaction" (pas mal pour une fuzz "sans sustain").
Je ne sais pas ce que tu en penses, mais Babuik ne fait finalement là qu'une supposition.
Oui, Denney ou Hurst ont bien donné une Tonebender aux Beatles. D'ailleurs des photos en attestent (MKI et MKII ou 1.5) mais aucune évidence de leur utilisation plutôt que la Maestro en réalité.
Simplement des indices que chacun s'amuse à entendre et commenter par rapport aux différences de son de tel ou tel modèle de fuzz.
C'est dingue non ?
