The Messiah Will Come Again - Roy Buchanan Played without any effects pedals

Until those last few years, when he had finally broken through to a wider audience, pretty much a 1953 Tele through Fender Vibrolux (or equivalent). Roy liked to roll all the amp knobs to the right and controlled everything from the guitar. He used light strings and changed them "when they broke."

As with all these discussions, it is ultimately about the player, not the gear. I would have sounded terrible on Roy's set up and he could have shredded a child's toy guitar. It is what it is.
