Love the Kinks.

It was Freddy Fender working with Dick Dale that gave us amps that could handle the overdrive. Dick Dale kept freezing the cones and causing the speakers to catch fire.

Of all the guys to have loud amps, Freddy "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" Fender was near the bottom of my list.

I think you mean Leo Fender --who's amps were known to handle clean tones at loud volumes, and then it would be an English drummer and electronics hobbyist, James Marshall, who would reverse-engineer a Fender Bassman, swapping out American 6L6 tubes for British-made EL34s to create the easily distorted, thunderously loud, refrigerator-sized guitar amplifier that would bear his name and dominate the stages of hard rock acts from the mid-1960s through today.
