Eddy directly identifies the DeArmond tremolo as part of his early rig and distinguishes the records that used it: Rebel Rouser, Stalkin' and Cannonball did, while Moovin' 'N' Groovin' and Ramrod did not. His earlier Vintage Guitar interview independently calls it part of their sound. The studio water-tank echo and amplifier circuitry are not displayed as pedals, and no undocumented control positions are inferred.
