What kind of fuzz pedal was used on Spirit In The Sky?

Very cool discussion. Nothing to add, just had to say something!

I always assumed the Sly Stone fuzzbass sound was one of those built-in Maestros (ie, Dance to the Music, etc.) and that is kind of the same flavor of fuzz.

Smashmouth really does nail it with that Walking on the Sun.  I always assumed they were a studio construct band.   Those guys just don't seem tech savvy or even talented.

I got really close to the Spirit fuzz just by plugging an SG directly into the mic input of a Sansui cassette deck. The impedance mismatch made this really ripped, gated fuzz.

Acoustic 360 bass amp has fuzz.

Norman Greenbaum is very funny, good way to get people to stop asking him old questions.
