[tomm]

anybody? TT

[tomm]

up...nobady can help me?for this sound is better a nailbomb?

[ShotgunInnocence]

I'm no expert, but neither of those bands strike me as using a higher gain tone.   My first thought would have been something more like a Blackdog or perhaps an Emerald.  Hopefully someone who REALLY knows what they're talking about on this subject will chime in.  If not, refer back to rule #1........."OH TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMM........."

tim suggest me a nailbomb...but before buy it i wanna hear other suggestions...(it should be good for the chunky rage and tool sound).but i don't know if a nailbomb work well with a big muff.i don't want a muffled tone..but a huge and raw fuzz tone

[ericsabbath]

the nailbomb seems to be tim's favorite model, and he recommends them for most stuff
I find the nailbomb to be way too aggressive for that
the holy diver will work, but still too modern sounding
I'd pick a crawler

For fuzz tones?

I doubt crawlers have the top end for the fuzzy effecty stuff to work with.

I'd get the nailbombs.

I got a nailbomb in my LP clone and it can get quite Morello (maybe a bit too modern sounding), but I'm not really sure that a fuzz pedal would be the right choice for the Morello sound. His sound isn't fuzzy in my opinion. I also think that the nailbomb is too modern sounding for White Stripes. I got a semi hollow with Mississippi Queens and it can sound very White Stripe-ish when played through the Orange amp in amplitube 3. But the MQ's might not cut it for Morello... ?  :?

Hopefully my answer is useful.

now i'm really confused...i don't want replicate the tom morello tone with a fuzz..but i want be able to have a cut distortion like him and at the same time a pick up that works well wit a big muff ( because i love that trashy big sound of jack white)..i have found a second hand holy diver...buti don't know if it's too modern,or too dark...and i don't know if nailbomb work well with a fuzz...what can i do?

[Mr. Air]

My best advice is: Try out the holy diver. If it doesn't suit you I'm pretty sure you'll be able to sell it to someone else quite easily

[tomm]

but do u think that a hd covers my style pretty well?

[tomm]

for example...works a holy diver well with fuzz(a big punk fuzz tone)?can i get a raw sound that is not a full metal distortion?have it enough bottom end to make that cut distortion alla tom morello?

[tomm]

anybody?  :(

[Mr. Air]

I can't really comment on the Holy Diver as I have never tried the pickup. Sorry mate. I hope someone else will chip in soon

[tomm]

thank you dude
