From Ball (1969). Ball is the third studio album by the rock band Iron Butterfly, released on January 17, 1969. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Mosrite Ventures Mark I through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Iron Butterfly's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
