Hey! So, I'm getting a bit obsessed with that crazy old tweed deluxe sound, the one that's all buzzy. It's mostly due to the solo in this song. Also, Neil Young.

So, I know nothing of pedals that make this sound. Doesn't catalinbread have one? IDK! Help me out, make suggestions, thank you in advance.

I need to listen to more Xiu Xiu.

'This is the worst vacation ever, I'm going to cut open your forehead with a roofing single.' Is my favourite song lyric. Need to get that inked.

I really like my Catalinbread Formula No 5.

A friend of mine got Xiu Xiu and Jarboe to contribute vocals for an album of his, and he was afraid to listen to both for like two months.

I've got a Formula No. 5 and it's okaaaaay. Not as boxy as the deluxe sound to my ears, but definitely the same blown out buzzy thing going at high gain. I gave it to my friend to play baritone through and he sounds like the coming apocalypse with it.

I also tried the following:
Nick Greer Ghetto Stomp - owned this
Lovepedal Something or Other - tried this in a shop
Some Other Lovepedal - as above

and didn't really like them. No sustain, weird low-freq intermodulation. Later, when I started learning how to roll my own pedals, I found out that they are all the same circuit and I was a sad little boy.

Dude, Xiu Xiu rules. "There is no right, there is no wrong. So why care? There is only wrong."

but so, I was already interested in the formula 5. Neat.
