Alvin Lee...
...always wondered how he got that searing lead tone on "Love to Change the World". Anybody got a bead on that one?

Always hated that tone. Sounds like a Univox Super Fuzz to me.

always admired him rippin' it up in the live "I'm Goin' Home"
As for Change the World, any good combo of fuzz/distortion and echo would get you there.

personally I'd use my SCOD & lots of delay.

He was the most rippin' guitar player of his day. The only pedal back then was the maestro. And it wasn't that good sounding if it wasn't warmed up.

I agree, but not about hating the tone...
