Members John_McEnroe Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 Does anyone know what fuzz pedals adrian utley from portishead uses? He has a pretty sick live tone. I am sure he uses all kinds of stuff, but if anyone has any first hand knowledge that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members who235 Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 I think he uses a RAT into either a Fuzzface or a Tonebender. I'll look around and try to find out where I got this information. I don't think I made it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John_McEnroe Posted October 12, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 I was actually not that into portishead until Third, but the guitar sounds on that are just amazing IMO. They give a lot of interviews where they talk about gear, but I think they make a lot of what they say up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnrambo Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 i think he used a stock dunlop fuzz face reissue on the live album, along with a rat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LR Weizel Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 Glory Box was a great tone. Didn't know it was a Rat. I'm not as fond of Rats lately but it's still a great tone. Maybe I need to get a proper vintage Rat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soulsonic Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 I know they use a Rat on Rhodes piano. Most of his fuzz (on the recordings anyway) sound like something derivative of the FZ-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snowden Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 Used to use a Fuzz Face. Now he uses some homemade ones. http://guitarplayer.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/interview-with-portisheads-guitarist-adrian-utley/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Snufkino Posted November 28, 2011 Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 Bump of ye olde, short lived topic. What's all this talk of using a Rat? Sounds more like 60's fuzz boxes. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snowden Posted November 28, 2011 Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 He had both in his chain, but Glory Box is definitely a Fuzz Face. Though, I always figured he used his Rat for the solo since the wah>FF>clean amp never sounds good, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shawnd2007 Posted November 28, 2011 Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 "My favorite setup at the moment is probably the VOX AC30 and Fender Jazzmaster with a choice of FuzzFace, CryBaby, and Echoplex" He then talks about how gets his compression and spring reverb from some vintage outboard gear he has in the studio. from Future Music Sept '11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snufkino Posted November 28, 2011 Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 Just done some googling, and it looks like he uses a Hot Cake and Tube Screamer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
