George Harrison used a Fuzz Face pedal into a 1968 Fender Silverface Twin Reverb amp for this song. You may not have guessed it, but the fuzz was engaged from the very beginning of the track. The tone starts off clean and by the solo it sounds like heavy distortion
This is possible because of the guitar's volume knob. When you turn down the volume knob, it cleans up the signal of the fuzz. You can hear him gradually turn up his volume knob throughout the song to get more distortion
George used his 1957 Gibson "Lucy" Les Paul. John Lennon played rhythm guitar on his Epiphone Casino, also into a Fender Twin Reverb
On the Les Paul, I start on the neck pickup- volume at 6.5
At 1:38 George switches to the bridge pickup, volume also at 6.5
At 1:46 for the solo he turns the bridge pickup volume up to 8ish
At 2:03 in the middle of the solo he turns up to 8.5
At 3:02 for the second solo he cranks the volume knob to 10
I'm using an Analogman Sunface BC108 fuzz pedal, which is a clone of a real Fuzz Face. BC108 refers to the silicon transistors used in this pedal. The Beatles recieved two Fuzz Faces during the Get Back sessions in January 1969. They most likely had silicon BC183 or BC108 transistors in them, because Dallas Arbiter changed from germanium to silicon around 1968
You Never Give Me Your Money was recorded on May 6th, 1969. The backing track consisted of Paul on piano, George on lead guitar, John on rhythm guitar and Ringo on drums. Many overdubs were recorded later. But let's talk about the guitar overdubs:
George starts off the song alone on his Les Paul
John enters (Casino) at 1:21 , strumming
At 1:32 a second Casino enters, doubling John's arpeggios (John overdub)
At 2:09 Casinos stop playing, a second Les Paul enters (George overdub)
At 2:28 John's original backing Casino enters again
At 2:39 the overdubbed Casino re-enters, doubling John's chords
John's two Casino parts have a nice natural double tracked sound to them, but I heard some slight ADT Tape Flanging on them. I kicked on my Strymon Deco tape flange pedal at 1:31 on both Casinos
