OK - I've researched my dozen or so Beatles books and find very little reference to "Bad Boy". I was recorded along with "DIzzy Miss Lizzie" and as mentioned before originally only released in the US. The UK version came later in a best of album. I referenced "The Beatles: Recording Sessions" and very little was mentioned other than its a Larry Williams tune. The studio log only mentions they did 4 takes. Mr. George Martin was the producer but no reference to an engineer. Geoff Emerick perhaps, I'd have to research it.
But now I've tried it using my Danelectro 12-String an have gotten closer to the sound. This is what we may have been hearing as the double tracking... or not. The solo definitely was a 6-string, either an overdub or perhaps John did it with his Rickenbaker?? They may have gotten that
Per Wikipedia: "The first wah pedal was created by Bradley J. Plunkett at Warwick Electronics Inc./Thomas Organ Company in November 1966. This pedal is the original prototype made from a transistorized MRB (mid-range boost) potentiometer bread-boarded circuit and the housing of a Vox Continental Organ volume pedal", therefore it wasn't a pedal that produced the tone, but that would have been easy at the board with EQ.
Again, Thanks for all the input. This has been fun. When I get closer to nailing the tone I'll make a recording and embarrass myself.
