It was Freddy Fender working with Dick Dale that gave us amps that could handle the overdrive.

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

It was Leo Fender that went with one of his engineers to a Dick Dale Concert to see what Dale was talking about with the difficultly of finding an amp that would take Dale’s playing. Fender and his engineer saw the problem and went back to Fullerton and built the Fender amp. Sorry, Freddy Fender was noted for Texas Rock and Roll as well as country.
