(laughs) We all knew where that riff belonged, so we changed reels and did it as the intro to “Bad Motor Scooter”. I happened to hit something that sounded like a motorcycle, and everyone yelled “STOP!” all at the same time. I tuned the Junior down to Open D, and started dinking around with a slide I was probably doing Johnny Winter riffs. I used that amp so much I blew it up several times before I finally got rid of it. I’d gotten it for ninety dollars, and when I bought it, it was covered with woodtone Contact adhesive paper! The Contact paper peeled right off it didn’t leave any residue and the tweed looked brand new. I personally think the Bandmaster sounds the best, but I love the Pro, and I use a Super because it is a little smaller and breaks up easier with just two 10's.

Then one day I was sitting with my red, double-cutaway Les Paul Junior, and a Electro-Harmonix Big Muff fuzztone, and the one amp I wish I’d never got rid of, a three-ten tweed Fender Bandmaster. The 5E7 Bandmaster (3x10), 5F4 Super (2x10), and 5E5-A Pro (1x15) are all the same amp with just different output transformer impedances and speaker configurations. "Well, one thing you ought to know is that the song almost didn’t make it onto the album! (chuckles) We thought it was a “loser” track just a little ditty that Sammy had written, but it was missing something. Is that how you did it on the first album? I’ve seen Hagar doing the “Bad Motor Scooter” intro in concert on a lap steel. So that was the fine tuning of the live reverb room.to dampen the room physically with packing blankets." īefore I forget about it, I want to inquire about a particular sound on the first Montrose-album. And I have memories of Don crawling up in the attic, crawling around in the room and spreading out packing blankets to dampen it just the way he wanted it. There were live echo chambers.live rooms that had speakers and microphones in them and they were called you know, live rooms. "I mean I have memories of Don Landee crawling around.you've got to remember this is 1973, and there wasn't any such thing as digital reverb.
The reverb for the Montrose album was done in the Sunset Sound live reverb chamber and so was the reverb for the first Van Halen album. From Ronnie Montrose interviews it is a Les Paul (and other guitars) into a Big Muff into a Bandmaster.
