UGH! Grit and grind driving me crazy!

Sign in to disble this ad
waaaaaah! it's driving me cwwwaaaaazzzyyy! i can't figure out what grit and grind pedal to add just that, grit and grind to my GK1001RBII amp...i love the amp! but...i wanna add some of that tubish kinda grit and grind...i love the YYZ and kinda tone...in fact, i'm not the biggest Rush geek but dang, that tone as well as Free Will, Tom Sawyer...tones from Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves etc...you know what i mean...i just want to add some of that tone to mine. is it that difficult? not a full on copy...my own way but close...ya know?

ive already got a Musket for muff tones and a Rat clone by CMATMODS for that Rat thang...i just need some kind of OD for that grit and grind..OD pedal or Preamp?

If you like the rush type sound, then the sansamp family might be the place to look
Bddi, RBI(?) etc.....

Get a Geddy J bass, and three things:

Sansamp RPM preamp

Avalon U5

Palmer speaker simulator

= instant "Geddy" tone!

I'd start with the RPM preamp, or even the Para Driver DI or Acoustic DI(RPM in slightly simpler pedal form). That should get you close=)

(The three things I mentioned are the main parts of Geddy's rig)
