Agreed, I've stumbeled on several VTF settings that sound like your amp/cab are being molested, in a good way of course.

The video definitely rocks [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdZ0zp_GTQM[/youtube] I like the idea of that dwarfcraft od into the muff... ill have to check into that... I feel like it might be an OD into a muff sound that im looking for.

Re: How to make your amp explode!
maybe im looking for an octave fuzz... these ones sound ridiculous! except ive had bad luck with octave fuzzes retaining the higher string articulation.

Which octave fuzzes have you tried thus far?
I'm more like a mids-ist than a bassist.

Re: How to make your amp explode!
none really.. closest was a mastotron... im thinking about getting a ECT and running some sort of boost infront like a box of rock or something. As long as the Eau Claire can get some classic green muff tones... Im thinking the octave fuzz will be too much.

Re: How to make your amp explode!
i'm thinking Velcroar with the ROAR set to about 9:00-10:00. bass pickup with the tone control rolled off. there's a particular sweet spot where it sounds like someone's burning a copy of Live Rust inside your amplifier.
