Members Alexilaiho Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 I want that mean growly tone like what bass guitars get, only I want it for my electric guitar. I'm in a stoner/doom band called steam and I need this tone. Help, and thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Special J Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 ^^^This. Try an SG Classic or Reissue with a fuzz face and a British tube amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jpnyc Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Take your guitar to a store and try out fuzz pedals until you find one you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alexilaiho Posted May 16, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 I don't have $10,000 just waiting to be burned up. I should have mentioned I need to do this with my current gear (peavey sc-2, digitech rp-7, peavey envoy 110 and a sundown rover15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grant Harding Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 You can try mixing in a bit of auto-wah to make it have a more vocal sound if your unit has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Growling, bass-like tone, IMO, is just pushed clean with a bit of overdrive, playing lower notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Daisy chain 6 Bixonic Expandoras and run them into a well used Fender Tweed Deluxe with everything turned up to 12:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 @alexilaiho They generally have a midrange character that easily produces a little growl and some "meanness." It's pretty easy to get rock and roll tones with P90s, and they're good at the growl sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yer Blues Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 Do you tune down? If not, try tuning down 1 (D) or 2 © whole steps. You may need thicker strings, although Tony Iommi was able to get away with lighter strings tuned down to C#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alexilaiho Posted May 17, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 I down tune to C standard and use 9 thru 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 Holy {censored} that's low, and with those thin strings... You ever have tuning issues? Anyway, given howow you tune, have you ever considered using a bass amp? Eden Nemesis amps kick ass and they bring the growl on the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alexilaiho Posted May 19, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 No tuning issues even during sessions of whammy wankery and Im using a strat bridge. I have thought about an ash down bass amp but could not afford one, but the good I can buy a behringer fuzz pedal now because I got a bullwhip ready to ship out to the customer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members McCain Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 Blackstar HT-1RH...E standard tuning/9-42's Noticed I can get a good "growly" sound by engaging the overdrive button/and OR kranking the amps gain knob AND closing/turning down the tone knobs on the guitar as far as they will go.
