I am recently new to the Fractal Universe, and one question I have is how to best recreate the sound I get when driving my valves amps with a Fuzz Face or similar distortion/overdrive pedal.
I have a Reeves 2n2Face Fuzz pedal, which has a great sound and a very hot output with lots of level. So with the hot output, you can smash the level in to a clean valve amp input and it creates this very cool overblown and heavily saturated drive on the amp's input, which works amazingly well with the Fuzz sound to create a supersaturated and thick sound.
So I am thinking about how to replicate this with the FM3, if doable? I guess driving the output hot from the Fuzz pedal will just clip the input converters to the FM3 - so maybe raising the Input Trim in the Amp block, or switching on a Clean Boost in the Amp Block Preamp to kinda stack after the Fuzz?
Or maybe even using another pedal after the Fuzz but before hitting the FM3 to simulate the amp's input being driven hard...
Be interested to know your techniques for this...
