Subject: special sauce, secret goo
Hey! can’t we get back
to talking about Special Sauce and Secret Goo? I’m with Kevin, and
I started this thread, OK? So blog buddies what’s your poison, I know we’ve
been over this before but it bears repeating, as peoples taste and gizmos
change. What distortion are you using and what do you like? Are you an
overdrive and amp distortion guy like me, does distortion do it
for you, are you a metal monger? or are you a fuzz fancier, ( there
should be a periodical called Fuzz Fancy like Dog Fancy the magazine for dog
lovers) show me what you got and tell me why. I love my newest overdrive
the Zendrive, as I previously stated, great at any setting ,and the Twin Tube
is also very good sounding and tube driven and a little more unruly and
prone to feedback, at high settings. I’ve been digging the octave fuzz
setting on the M-13 lately that sounds great on the lap steel , I can
get sub octave death metal lap steel tones, oh
baby!

My
first fuzz effect was an accident of use. Back in '70 or so I
got an Ampex cassette recorder - mono but it had FM! - which allowed a kind of
PA via a mini-mic input. I didn't want to do line-in to my stereo so when
I got my first electric I fed it through the Ampex. I put the guitar
through several of those Armstrong cubes to a Small Stone to my CryBaby to the
Ampex. Lovely warm fuzz and it ran on
batteries.
Nowadays I like riding the
pickups with the ebow, then limiting the input appropriately. I've never
really done amp distortion before. Perhaps I'll get a chance when we move
to the country. And I buy an amp. :)
(btw I took new vid at solstice
sunset last night, put it to some oldish music up on the sites
below)
