| | | | I'd probably try a Big Muff into some EQ to try to get close. |

Heh. Differnt strokes for different folks.  |

|  | Registered User | | | | | big muff, 12 oclock on all knobs, tone knob rolled back a bit on the bass... should get close. I play with a 'fuzzy' tone like this frequently. I take it those sunn amps are either for guitar or have some sort of overdrive in them? |

i can only imagine how LOUD it must've been in that room.

And yes, they do have some overdrive built in...they're called power tubes. HELL TOO THA YAY-ESSSS!

If you want that sound sometimes but not all the time, I'm guessing you could make a little box with the right diode and a switch for about $4... |

Be sure to use a neck pickup with tone rolled off. |
