How to get this guitar sound

rhythmic5 · 23rd December 2011

Referring to the super fuzzy/distorted tone in the attached clip. Just wondering what amp/cab/mic(s) (position, etc)/and whatever else you would use to get the tone!

Lots of processing.. hard to tell what the set up is with that much chorus, etc swirling around.

I only gave it one listen on my laptop speakers so...
It's definitely more than one guitar track.
It definitely has a sound I associated with direct-in plugin amp sims.
The sound of that Joemeek EQ that comes with so many protools setups.
The sound of a ripped up optical compressor (hardware or software)
The reverb has a good amount of pre-delay.

I may be completely wrong.

EL84 ish sounding, with that bright/brittle. Double tracked or 2 amps with a simulator.

I'd say 2-3 tracks with various amounts of gain and maybe one clean track. Distortion reminds me of a Boss DS-2 or something moderately "scoopy". Lastly they're all bussed together and fairly heavily compressed.

I agree with the EL84-ish comment, and it's definitely at least doubled, but it doesn't have the "thump" of a real amp. The closest thing in my tiny collection of amp sims would probably be the Amp Farm AC30 Top Boost.
