Here's a fun tone that I'd love to get a little closer to having in my stable. Real dry, raw, stiff, crunchy, but not sustained...you can hear the big "grains" of the overdrive if that makes any sense. (I know it doesn't electrically lol). It kinda sounds to my ears a bit like a farty fender.
Seeing as he's using a tele, I started with my tele on the neck pup with the tone all the way down into the Princeton model, cleanish on the amp, and cycling through various drive pedals, mostly with the tones down and the gains to taste but on the low side. The fuzzes are too gainy and compressed, the boosts aren't gainy enough, and the TS's are too smooth.
I also tried no drive at all, cycling through various fender amps with the gains mid to up, trebles down and bass controls mid to up. That also kinda gets close, but there's a certain dryness to this tone that I'm not really achieving.
Any thoughts on how you'd go about it?
Thanks all ;-)
