Birdsnake's Nest

This is from an email conversation I had… thought my readers would like it too…

I play a strat (ej model 2 color sunburst) with amalfitano pickups into a dumble ods 124 clone.  My pedal board is a modded fulltone clyde > octavia > klon > low gain germanium fuzz (60/80hfe) > bc183 fuzz  > bc108 fuzz…  I have a pt2399 stlye delay and a tuner in the amp’s fx loop. I built reverb into the amp and I turn it on just enough so that I can hear hints of reverb.

I can get by with guitar+amp so sometimes when I’m feeling lazy i just do that and set a tuner on top of the amp lol but usually it goes something like this…

I either use the amp’s clean channel and one of the 3 fuzzes or else the amp’s overdrive channel by it’s self.

I use klon+clean channel for ”almost clean” solos.

I spend about half the night with nothing but amp clean + fuzz face, 25% of the night amp’s clean channel + klon and 25% of the night with just the amp’s dirty channel.

I kick on the octavia every once in a while.

I use the wah a lot.. it has an output buffer so it works well with the fuzz. I use a little bit of delay a lot.

These fuzzes sound great with this amp and I’m kind of addicted to them now… I used to have a twin reverb and it really didn’t work well with a fuzz face unless I set the amp’s controls for the fuzz… but then nothing else sounded right.
