No apology necessary. I was aiming for Bob Mould's slightly-modulated, direct-to-board,MXR Dist+ vibe -- early Hüsker Dü!

I'll muck around and see if I can hit what I'm chasing.

Ah, that would be why! I’m an awful sellout and only ever listen to Candy Apple Grey :ph34r:

That Orange setup is so nice. I've never spent any real time with one, and I guess I have this binary amp thing where I like my amps "clean-clean" or "pretty crunchy".

I think I need to get over that.

A Mosrite catching some Orange-voiced "gritty cleans"? That sounds like the BUSINESS.

I have a feeling you’d like Orange amps. They’re like less tight Marshall sound. Good for noise making.

Funnily enough i just scored this Rocker 15 on eBay. Really impressed.

It’s loud ( excellent!)

Clean channel is almost vox like with a JM ( excellent!)

Dirty channel goes from the grit mentioned above to a real solid rock tone with lots of tight bottom end even with single coils. ( excellent!)

The power switching options are amazing and the tone is pretty similar across all the settings ( 1/2 , 1, 7 & 15 watt) unlike the little vox ac4 tv this replaces which suffered from loss of sparkle on the lower power settings compared to full power

All around excellent purchase then…

Ps. I reckon you’ve got that dialed. Your clip above really said Husker Du to me. Maybe you could go even “fizzier”? Moulds tone always sounds quite trebly to me?

Thanks! Yeah, it's funny, my mixing setup is garbage, and it's like I'm AFRAID to go that trebly until I export it to MP3 (for now), but you're spot on, it's not slashy enough.

I edited a post above, but here's the sound after 3 minutes spent remixing for more treble and fizz and it's STILL not there. My mediafire app is all screwy so can't tell if I properly redirected.

Candy Curtain - Don't, Bob, Don't

I'll stop monopolizing the thread and let the gorgeous Oranges have the floor, but in case anybody listens to that link above, it's a hot bridge humbucker, a cheap Dist+, a Donner pitch shifter set to detune +/-5 (blended to taste), and some compression at the end of the chain. Not a tone knob to be found on the board.

No amp, no cab sim, straight into the "board" in GarageBand. A little EQ in the box to cheat some breathing room in the mix since it was so first-take. Crank those highs! Don't be scared!

You can Hüsker Dü it yourself!

Ergh, since sorting out my board the lucky cat & DMM Nano are popping when I switch them on in the effects loop. They’re after the CE-2 in the loop chain, and everything has isolated power. Swapped a few patch leads around but no joy. Will need to test every cable :'(

After several years of just using the Surfybear I've put myself together a pedalboard again. Bought a new fuzz and all haha!

Love it!

I've got one of Tims Super Unpleasant Companions as well...really great Super Fuzz/Shin-Ei clone - his wife gave it to me as a tip for some work I did for her! When I build a bigger board it'll go on it along with some others of his.

Hell yeah, I've been having a lot of fun with it. Always loved the Super Fuzz sound, been nice to have the Companion sound to play around with too now
