Tman5293 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 So I was playing with the settings on my amp and my Big Muff and I was just trying all different combinations of treble, bass, and mids. Then I switched over to my clean channel which on my Line 6 is the twang default channel with the reverb turned down a little. I switch on the Big Muff and start messing with it. I finally get to the point where I'm about to give and then BAM! I turn the volume knob down just a little and I did something with the sustain (not really sure if it was up or down) and that was it! It was the sound I've been trying to get for years! It's like a perfect vintage distortion. Kinda hard for me to describe in words. It's a sound unlike anything I've ever been able to get outta my rig. I would go as far as to say that it sounds pretty damn close to a tube amp. Anyway, if you took the time to read my little rant, your awesome. I just felt the need to share since I've never ever been this happy with my guitar sound! EDIT: Here's the audio clip: http://www.purevolume.com/Tman5293 First track on the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll stick with my sound for now. No point is changing something thats perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman5293 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 This thread is worthless without soundclips. :-" Well I have no way of recording it. I don't have a recording mic. In fact the only mic I have is the mic on my gaming headset. Holy $hit! I just thought of something! I could try doing a direct line into my PC. Do you guys know if that would work or not?

Tman5293 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I got an audio clip for you guys! http://www.purevolume.com/Tman5293 First track on the player. I know it's long but if you listen to the whole thing (like 7:30) I think you'll notice some very familiar songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjay777 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 That Big Muff is one badass unit. Sounds like you're playing through an old Supro. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a lot off tweaking to get that sound. Making a very vintage sound was my goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
