My doom tones come from classic 70's tones or more of the Uncle Acid variety.

I like PAF or P-90 neck tones with the volume dialed back a bit for rhythm and then fuzz du jour for lead.

I like the Badger 30 model and some models like the Divided By 13 CJ11 model for weed-y, string-y rhythm tones. The Super Reverb model the Pi-Fuzz is pretty cool, too.

That is the beauty of the AX8, though. The possibilities are endless. And using something like an ES 330 or ES 125 is entirely realistic for heavier music.

I have a Colorsound One Knob fuzz I can run in front of the AX8 and it just sputters and gurgles and splats like strychnine dripping down your spine. A little reverb and tape delay for good measure.

Any low gain Marshall or even the Tweed Princeton is a good base for my purposes.

Here's a Tweed Deluxe model with a Colorsound Overdriver for fuzz/distortion.
