Members ck3 Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 I don't listen to Weezer much, but what about that Glitch Computer you're borrowing? If you set the octave blend and tracking deviation at lower levels, it is possible to thicken your sound without everything reverting to 8-bit confusion ... the tone in question sort of reminds me of "Buddy Holly" ... but I suppose that's from a different album.

Members BillyGrahamCracker Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yeah. That sound from the Blue Album (and from a bunch of Pinkerton) is just an LP Jr Special through the Mesa Mark 1 head. No effects. But to get that sort of crunch, some of the suggestions above might do it, at least somewhat. But you'd probably need Ric Ocasek to twiddle the knobs while you play, though.

Members Elliott Damage Posted July 27, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 sometimes i think my next amp should be a Mark I. i really love that sound and on the other hand i love the super smooth santana lead sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlniec Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 I think the way the amps were mic'd may have influenced the sound as well. But I will say this, I have an Agile AD-2500 (basically a copy of a LP special DC w/ P-90s), and it does seem to get the early-Weezer crunch better than my guitar w/ humbuckers. I played it through a Mesa Studio .22+ once, and was getting a pretty convincing Blue Album sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the figurehead Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 Originally posted by tlniec I think the way the amps were mic'd may have influenced the sound as well. This is exactly right. The amps were very quiet with a ton of gain, and they were mic'ed with condenser mic's. This is sort of the opposite of the traditional blaring amp/sm57 setup used on alot of records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzface71 Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 I read an interview with Ric Ocasek (producer) from GW. That River's strat was cranked (so as the amps) with all the tone knobs on zero! With the occasional addition of a Big Muff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
