Members ben_allison Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Apparently, I'm looking for a fuzz... but fuzzes often sound grainy and "fizzy" to me. I want a totally smooooooth, non-grainy pedal, for lead work. I want to good touch response (more and more I'm tending to play with the gain cooking, and adjusting volume/intensity with my attack). Good note definition. Loads of sustain. I tried the BB Preamp a while ago... it seemed pretty good. Anything option might be boosting my Riot, and putting a compressor after. But new pedals are more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 The Flying Tomato is very smooth and flutey. It totally meets the criteria you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ben_allison Posted February 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 The Flying Tomato is very smooth and flutey. It totally meets the criteria you're looking for. I've been thinking "Meh, I don't think I want a fuzz," but then I keep thinking about the Flying Tomato for some reason. I know you used it a bunch on your EP, and I likes the tones... maybe it's worth a shot! Thanks brah. Do you stack it with the Timmy, or just run it straight?

Members Loobs Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Stack it with the Timmy and it's even fatter and smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beexter Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 David Gilmour seems to achieve this with a big muff although it doesn't score too well for touch sensitivity. I've had good results with an Absolutely Analog Green Russian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 I don't find that Muffs have anywhere enough mids for this kinda thing. Maybe boosted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loobs Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Tomato for leads yesChords noI learned the hard way Agreed. I'll probably switch it out to a RAT soon because it's just not tight or chunky enough for rhythm. But it sounds really nice on leads, very touch sensitive, cleans up beautifully from the volume control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about the Rat, {censored} always sounds to me like the first Deftones album Id get a muff for what Allison wants, even if it lacks mids he can dime the tone knob Live screeching treble always wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ben_allison Posted February 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Id get a muff for what Allison wants, even if it lacks mids he can dime the tone knob That's the thing... Gilmour's lead tone is pretty ideal, and he uses Muffs. But he's stacking them with a Tube Driver, and sculpting the {censored} out of them with a GE7. So I've thought all along that a Top Fuel, or now the Pig Mine, might be ideal, since it's a Muff, Gilmourified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gae86 Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Just my w cents, but when I saw "liquid" I just thought at my Lunar module! This seems to me a great word to describe it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Amiller1121 Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 :lol: Yeah, I have a Rat. It's ok for some stuff I guess. Just too grainy for me, most of the time. That's the thing... Gilmour's lead tone is pretty ideal, and he uses Muffs. But he's stacking them with a Tube Driver, and sculpting the {censored} out of them with a GE7. So I've thought all along that a Top Fuel, or now the Pig Mine, might be ideal, since it's a Muff, Gilmourified. Gilmour used a fuzz face till like 1975. That said, the leads you're probably thinking of are from The Wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members doc oc Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Probably get flamed for this but I still don't think there is a better tool for this then the good old fashioned Ts-808 or Ts-10. Even better, two of them. I think the same company that makes the route 66 (visual sound?) makes pedal called the double trouble which is two of them chained together.

Members TomCTC Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yeah, I'd say Muff as well. Neck pup. That's getting pretty smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
