From Easter Everywhere (1967). Easter Everywhere is the second studio album by the American psychedelic rock band the 13th Floor Elevators. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for 13th Floor Elevators' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
