Zoom Ultra Fuzz. Just one example, you can use lower gain settings with the oscillation and gating set to have a jaggedness on the edge of note decays that sounds a bit like a microphonic tube.

Adventure Audio Dream Reaper does this pretty well I think. Especially since it interacts directly with your pickups in kind of a unique way.

Also Torns Peaker. I mean, come on meow.


Alternatively you can just play through a damaged speaker. I do that sometimes. It gets that crackling that's almost vinyl like and distorts when it shouldn't. Kind of neat. haha

Didn't want to piss on your thread. It just reminded me of the ILF 2013 spirit. :hug:
