Used Amplitube 2 with a fender amp model and the fuzz age pedal.

The track isnt finished yet because I dont have a bass (was using the LP neck pickup through a bass model for the bassline), no singer and it needs some different riffs in it!

I love fuzz at the minute, I want something good to use with my proper amp but I dont know what to get cos theres so many different types.

Nice - why does it remind me of Muse???????

The ZVex Fuzz Factory is supposedly the daddy of fuzzes :)

Wow JJRetroTONEGOD, do you actually use those settings on your blues driver? :eek: . That settings like death by noise for me

HELL YEAH!!!!!

Finally some RAWK!!! :twisted:

I would do a seperate solo and let the rythm piece do its thing, as an into you could do the oldskool break fill kind of thing like in the beginning of the track, ending the solo in some lower volume overtones maybe?

If you dont mind me asking, where the hell did you get that drumtrack, im looking for something uptempo like that but cant find anything like this anywhere.

Cheers :) I've written a bit more now, just need to finish it up then re record everything! I think the reason for the fat tone is that I recorded it twice and panned one left and the other right. Surprised my playing is tight enough for them to both sound in time to be honest :lol:

The drums were programmed in Reaper using the EZDrummer plugin, I just changed the snare to the one called piccolo or something if I remember correctly.

Awesome. Sounding great tom.

Does not remind me of Muse...

Do you run your fuzz through the amp or FX loop?

I think amplitube puts it before the amp on the default setting.

I Need to get mes a fuzzy wuzzy pedal. That was awesome. Can't help but love the stoner rawk!

Yep, stoner rock is a genre I'm getting more and more into, I just love the big riffs without having some cr@p metal cookie monster growling over the top :D The only thing is when I tell people what I'm into playing at the minute they automatically assume I'm some kind of druggie :lol:

And yes, I need a proper "fuzzy wuzzy" as well :lol: Have a keeley rat but its a bit too refined and doesnt get nasty enough for my liking, its more of a slightly fuzzy distortion if you know what I mean.

Ha! I love my stoner/doom stuff.... listening to Electric Wizard as I type.

If you want a bad ass stoner tone you I really recommend a Warpig.

A Big Muff pedal is a good first step, but if your interested in other pedals check out D*A*M.

So downtune to C and whack some 12's on and you'll be almost there!

Bad news you don't like Matamps as they are THE amp for this genre IMO. I think you have a Laney tho, so you should be OK.

Haha, i think you're forgetting the Laney's started the whole genre!

But yeh Stoner rock/metal is awesome, that's why i got my little big muff. I love this track i can't stop listening to it, sounds really like a Wolfmother thing to me.

_tom_ · « **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2008, 01:20:06 PM »

Maybe I should try a big muff then, or the little big muff. Laney does stoner rock fine with a rat in front :) I used that on this recording, tho the tracks a bit boring and the drums are pretty shite- http://www.mp3lizard.com/download.cfm?id=24081

I've finished the drums for this song now, just need to be arsed to record the guitars again and make up some soloing for it :lol:
