How did mankind discover metal?
In: Technology
Well, back in 1951, Willie Kizart found that if he poked a hole in his amp, he could make his guitar sound fuzzy.
And people mucked around with this idea, seeing what sounds they could create for awhile.
Then a few years later, in 1960, a faulty output transformer in a tube amp blew during a Marty Robbins recording session and made the guitar sound cool as fuck.
So engineer Glenn Snoddy set about setting up a box that could reproduce the sound on demand and invented the first stomp box.
And with this stomp box, the first chunky riffs were written and metal was born.
