I love a good slow dirty flange, that dark metallic shit with the LFO mixed almost all the way out.
And oh yeah - I gotta second the TAFM for the HEAVIES. Great stuff there. Especially because with the clean blend you can run a super nasty trebly octave fuzz into it and blend it into the warm and wooly which the TAFM brings on its own.
Verellen Big Spider into Team Awesome. You could do with either alone, no problem. But combined it's unstoppable like Voltron or somethin'. If Voltron only had two parts.
Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder all the way! I've been through my fair share of doomy fuzzes and the Thunder just edged out the TAFM. The built in feedback loop is an added bonus.
I'll be moving back into my apartment/school on Saturday and can do an ECT doom demo for you then, I did use it in combination with a Year4545 in this clip:
I did have a 1975 peavey roadmaster super festival series. It destroyed me. It was too much amp for me. Now I am playing through a sunn 2 12" combo. I think I made my final decision a very special twosome and a tafm stacked through the sunn. I think that will work. Thanks for the info/opinions.
Here's my experiences with some of the pedals listed in this thread:
Pharaoh - Throaty and really midrangey. I could cop a good Sleep tone from the Pharaoh.
Musket - Way crunchier. If the Pharaoh is analogous to Sleep, the Musket is more like High on Fire.
Eau Claire Thunder - SUPER fuzzy and the least crunch. I'd use it for droning, sludgy stuff, but not necessarily something with tight palm muting.
I haven't played a TAFM, but my main go-to distortion tone has mainly been OCD > Very Special Twosome, with the Musket set to my "main" tone and the Fix'd Fuzz set to a little sizzle on top for leads.
First: MORE BIGGER AMPSESES!!! Second: mufftypes and yes Eau Claire Thunder [this has replaced all muff age on my board for now] wit get you in a ballpark, volume is soooo much a part of that sound. Before Takeshi got the thunda he use a Elk "super fuzz" with I think is a muff for a longs time.
