Hi All - hoping for some ideas to try - I'm tapped out. My band covers Cherub Rock and I'm searching for the rhythm fuzz/overdriven sound. Obviously Smashing Pumpkins layers about 10 guitars when they recorded that song, and my band is a 3 piece. But I'm trying to get a big big sound, with the enough definition to hear the octave progressions under the fuzzy goodness that the ringing open E string leaves. With my AX8 I had a tweed style amp running into an american style 1x12 cab, hit in the front end by I believe maxed out blues driver pedal. Sounds ridiculous, but it did produce a nice balance of fuzzy with some cut/definition. Unfortunately I built that preset about 4 or 5 years ago and never really adjusted it. My AX8 sold so fast that I forgot to pull the set-up to try to copy to the FM3. My attempts to recreate that set-up have failed. My attempts at using the marshal style amps, Atomic/Cameron CCV/JCM800/Friedman amps have all failed. The Cameron is a cool sound / close but missing too much warm fuzziness. Maybe I can add a bit of that adding a second signal bypassing the amp and sending through a drive pedal +EQ directly into the cab?
Anyway - any ideas? Thoughts. Thanks
