On his website, Michael Monarch stated that he used a fuzz box that had "Distorto" written across the top. This is most likely referring to the D&M Co. Distorto Fuzz pedal, which was essentially a copy of the Maestro FZ-1. This pedal was used in the first and second Steppenwolf albums.
From Detective's Facebook page: "Michael Monarch used a black Fender Stratocaster on all Detective recordings. The guitar was an early 60's Strat body with an early 50's Telecaster neck. Michael also used a unique, open G tuning with a capo. He's a magnificent slide guitarist."
Micheal is playing a Sunburst 800 on Steppenwolf's 1969 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. From Michael Monarch's website: "I went to their factory and picked out a strange-looking guitar I used in some publicity photos, and in a video."
