You can hear it if you remember that sound.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/glenn-snoddy-nashville-engineer-who-brought-fuzz-tone-to-rock-dies-at-96/2018/05/30/1be1486c-62bb-11e8-a768-ed043e33f1dc_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.e648176b92d7

Amazing that so many innovations were the result of something blowing up or being injured in an amplifier.

Quite interesting story.

Quote: "Glenn Thomas Snoddy was born in Shelbyville, Tenn., on May 4, 1922."

It never ceases to amaze me how many cool things the 'Great generation' contributed to the society.

Huh, fuzz tone.

That's always how I feel after 2-3 stiff scotches.

OK, I'm good with that.  Except I have some chronic tinnitus, and after a few it often goes up a bit in volume.... thus TONE.
