You, sir, have blown my mind. I was just earlier trying to tap with my arc flash/hoof, and was getting a little frustrated because the sound was so thin and tiny. So I pulled my fulltone OCD out and put it in front of the arc flash and then the hoof, and. I was getting ready to drop $100 on a barber dirty bomb, but holy crap I can get a
metal tone out of my OD and fuzz. Tapping, pinch harmonics, heavy palm mutes, it's all butter OD > fuzz. So thank you sir.
PS: I still might get a Dirty Bomb, but I think I'm going to pick up a wolf computer (mini?) first.
no problem man glad i could help! i did that on accident one day and it just seems that the OD will keep your attack tight while the fuzz will keep the whole signal thick and filthy.
want some serious heavyness?
super muff or a thick fuzzstortion @ half gain or so > thickest fullest fuzz you can find.
i use a bluebeard as a stupid heavy OD into a megalith and it is amazing.
), but it is not my sound personally..
