That is me Joachim, been listening to them alot lately. My Byrds greatest hits album in mono sounds pretty good. See if you can find this on utube.. The Byrds- Turn,Turn,Turn Live.. no lip sync with Gene Clark, pretty classic stuff.(sorry I still don't know how to post a utube video here) Our old bud Chip Fossa would be getting in on this. Very Happy

I am a big fan of The Byrds, they were one of my favorite bands back in the day. I haven't heard this song in a long time, but the Younger Than Yesterday album was my favorite one. The guitar tone on this is excellent. One of the first things that came to mind when I first heard this was what kind of amp the guitar that's playing the intro was plugged into. Does anyone have any idea of what it could have been?

Yes sir. My understanding is that they were Younger than Yesterday.

From what I remember reading, McGuinn ran his Ric 370 into TWO analog/tube compressors, and then into the board without an amp when recording.. I saw the Byrds several times back in the day, and his tone was quite different live... He and Clarence used 4-FOUR!, Super Reverb amps... EACH!.. At least they did when I saw them.... bob

Thanks for the comments about their gear Bob. It seems I recall McGuinn talking gear on a talk show and him saying that he had some sort of compressor built into his Ric 12 string. The intro on this is a 6 string and since the pictures show one of them, I'm not sure who, playing a Gretsch, then I would assume that it was the guitar that was played on this session. There seems to be a little dirt on the tone, like it was played through a smaller tube amp cranked up a bit, but I'm just speculating. I would love to know what they were using. That's interesting that McGuinn and Clarence White used 4 Super Reverbs, I bet they sounded great!

Their procucer Gary Usher made a record in the eighties. The singer was Tom Kelly:;

I believe there's also some six-string playing on "Notorious Byrd Brothers" that he also produced.
