The last weeks, I spent a lot of time searching for a new guitar lead sound. Now I only use my Supa Fuzz replica made by Lumpy’s Tone Shop which is a great warm and full vintage fuzz. I don’t use my Tech 21 British anymore. I tried a HBE Germania treble booster to go with it and add some bite but it didn’t really fit my “no amp” set up. However, I found by coincidence a great sound by stacking my Big Muff after the Supa Fuzz : Huge fuzz with endless sustain! A bit noisy though… But it’s the best combo I’ve ever tried actually (better than using a TS9 as a booster). I recorded many lead parts for the longest track of album too and it sounds quite different from my first album. I think I won’t add too many guitar tracks but time will tell…
I tested an Electro Harmonix Bassballs today as I was searching for a kind of wah bass sound for a particular part of “the longest song”. I didn’t play too much with it yet but I’m not sure that it’s what I’m looking for. Maybe I should try a Q-Tron someday. Anyway, I’ll spend more time tweaking it tomorrow and see if it will do the job.
