From the Q&A

I still can’t figure out how you came up with the overdriven backing line in the song “One of These Nights.” Was that overdrive AND distortion? Thanks for years of enjoyment, Jim P.

"Jim, I get this question a lot. It was just a Les Paul and an early 50′s tweed deluxe amp on 10. As a matter of fact, I still use that amp today, most recently for songs on my upcoming CD. I never use distortion pedals in the studio."
