    It's definitely thick and syrupy! I can imagine it as a dessert.

      But, that's how it's supposed to sound.

        Digging the fuzz. Is this the Big Muff? Which one and what settings did you use?

          Thanks!

          I write everything down when I record, so I can find the settings later on:

          It's an old '90s Frantone 'The Sweet' . . . which is basically a germanium big muff with too much gain. No EQ, compression, or reverb done on the lead while mixing . . . what's recorded sounds exactly like what I hear with the amp and pedals. Tone was around 1-2 o'clock, volume up at about 3 o'clock, sustain at about 11 and into my Traynor YCV40's dirty channel set loud to just barely breakup (EQ BMT 666, with presence knob maxed out and reverb off). Then put a little bit of 1/8th note delay through the effects loop.

          There's a C. Rex in the speaker combo and an extension cab with v30. The C. Rex was close miced (left guitar - SM57Beta) and the right guitar signal is a room mic (sm81) from about four feet away at my head level. First solo is neck single coil, second and third solos are both the bridge humbucker - All guitar is my Godin Exit 22 with the stock pickups, and the tone/volume rolled a little back.


          Big Muff into a loud Fender style amp will get you like 95% of the way there. :P
