Play It Loud, Part 2!

More photos from my trip to the Met in NYC! The captions tell the tale. This was an amazing lineup of iconic gear. Eddie’s pedals (check out the mid-boost on the MXR eq!) and the Variacs that helped him develop the “Brown Sound”! Page’s setup with the Theremin and an ancient tube-powered Conn strobe tuner, not to mention TWO Echoplexes)! And the Boss’s Tele (which started life as an Esquire) can go head-to-head with the Jeff Beck/Yardbirds Esquire (previous post) anytime for gorgeous battle scars!
I can recommend the catalog highly for great photos and excellent text. Available from the Met, or everybody’s fave online seller. Enjoy!
