Hey there,
haven't been on these boards for years...

Im looking to build a pedal that can give me a specific tone all at once, or at least the basis for which to get it.
Said tone is: the intro to bodysnatchers by radiohead, Perhaps I can use the shredmaster distortion that they use, but I feel like I might need something else.

Im not completely sure how to get this kind of a tone. It's similar to a lot of Muse tones.
What I've thought of before is just cascading gain stages perhaps 90˚ out of phase each time?

Any and all help is appreciated.


Now, don't you start that again!

nordine

not distortion,

all fuzz

nasty kind of fuzz, speaks silicon all over.... try for the dirty sanchez fuzz, or any other design that aims to 'sludgy-misbiased-cheap fuzz' sound

even i'd say you can get that sound with only one transistor, as its not so much gain, get on your breadboard!
