they did mostly mate!
there wasn't anywhere near as much choice in the 60s as there is now

gibson les pauls / rickenbackers / fender strats

marshall amps / vox ac30's / fender jazz choruses

cry baby wah pedals (70s)

spring reverbs , analogue tape delays , natural tube distortion


(i'm salivating already)
Yeah, but I think the Dead were pretty well known though for heavily modding their instruments to get unique sounds.... probably some other groups too.
