Hello all!
I play most Les Paul guitars through amps with built in, sort of Marshall-y or generally British drive tones. Two of my favorite players are Steve Hackett and Robert Fripp, I’ve been chasing their tones with my gear but I’m
finding I’ve got too much grit and grunt with amp distortion. I know both of them used Hiwatts, or, in Steve’s case, Marshall’s set clean with a fuzz pedal, usually some British manufacturers variation of the Big Muff. I’ve only ever used a Big Muff with a single coil guitar and got some great Gilmourish tones, but I’m looking for that silky more violin like sustain Hackett and Fripp got out of theirs. Has anyone had any success with this and have any advice on how to dial it in? Thanks!
