Eddie Hazel
Hazel recorded the ten-minute solo with wah and fuzz in the live guitar path; George Clinton created most of the track's echo treatment later during mixdown.

Fender's track history identifies both wah and fuzz in Hazel's recorded performance and quotes Clinton explaining that he added the Echoplex repeats and other effects during mixdown. Clinton separately told Premier Guitar that Hazel learned wah, Big Muff and phaser pedals from the beginning, but that broader rig memory does not prove which fuzz model was on this session. NPR's interview confirms that the band played live before Clinton stripped back the arrangement and layered the echo. The two performance effects are therefore shown with deliberately unverified model names. Their display order follows a common Hendrix-derived wah-into-fuzz layout and is not presented as a cable trace; Echoplex, phaser and flanger are excluded from Hazel's floor path.
