Whilst he says he was not much influenced by Hendrix &#8211; the guitar innovator that came before him &#8211; he must have been affected by his sheer fearlessness when it comes to experimentation and the new guitar sounds he created.<\/p>\n<p>Eddies guitar rig &#8211; while not small &#8211; is surprisingly simple as he comes from an era when fuzz and distortion were created by driving the power-amp rather than by external stomp-boxes and preamp gain stages. He achieved the massive overdrive by having his amp volumes on full and then lowering the who volume to listening level using an electrician&#8217;s device called a variac.<\/p>\n<p>So in the years before the Internet and information and images were freely available at the touch of a button nobody could figure out how on earth he got his out of this world distortion sounds &#8211;
