This is my first Dino recording. Drums a bit quiet and lyrics probably wrong.
There is a bunch of blank noise at the end. Sorry about the file size.

Well, right as I posted that, I figured someone would have one.
Sweet rig tunamelt! I’ve never played an SG with P90’s. I had Seymore Duncan p-90’s that fit humbucker slots but changed back to humbuckers with a split coil.
One thing I did not like was that the pickups in parallel cancelled hum. It made me always gravitate towards the middle position when playing overdriven tones. However, some of the best tones were the pickups individually.
I played the PRS soap bar – II and liked it, but it too cancelled hum in the middle position. I want the hum!
How do you like the SG Classic?

The current guitar i use the most is a Gibson SG classic with P90 pickups.

The pedals change regularly though. About 1/2 the pedals are gone and my Big Muff is boxed away wrapped in plastic since I think it’s a 1970’s version.
I’ve been playing 20 years though so have collected most the guitars over time. Darker SG was given to me by a room mate and the white SG was $400 probably because of the Floyd Rose though. Fender was $179 back in 1986. So I ain’t rich, the Dr Z was the biggest set back and the best thing I’ve bought.
After all this, my recommendation is get one good loud clean tube amp, a good humbucker guitar wired to split the coils (this way you get 2 guitars in one) and a pedal or 2 and you’ll be happy.
I play this stuff a lot but probably should put 1/2 of it up for sale.
OCD’s best sounds are mild overdrive with alot of volume to push a vintage tube amp, true.
However, the pedal itself actually has alot of overdrive and gets pretty nasty as you turn the gain up. There are actually complaints that it gets shrill as it is turned up. I don’t think so. I think it is a quite good 80’s "metal" sound. Think harder 80’s metal like Accept, Metallica, Merciful Fate. 1980’s Marshall overdrive when the gain is turned way up. None of the nu-metal scooped sound, like a Boogie.
you’d have to try one out of course
There are clips on the website. Remember Mike Fuller is a classic rock nut so the clips are of course of Led Zeppelin and the such but should give you an idea of pedal-on pedal-of.

over your shoulder (i would never be able to do it justice. it’s got lots of guitar-ry operatics i can’t even touch.)i’d love to see someone attempt "pickle song".
what’s the deadline?

Pickle Song would be quite an undertaking. I would think of all Mascis material that would be the toughest to really and try to "cover" it.
I mean who plays the mouth harp or has a real theramin probe."jeremiah " wrote:Excellent Job! I am digging this version!Thanks, I always thought the original became so dreamy during the bridge section so I tripped it out a bit more and turned off the overdrive.
I was pretty happy with it. I should have done the trills during the chorus, but never got around to it.I used to think J was in the background (guy in the right hand side), but the full picture shows it’s on the beach with lots of other people. Guess that’s wrong.
Hmm.
Well I’d put J’s soud into 3 areas.
Clean (with nice tube sound)
Fuzzy (Muff)
Hard Tube overdrive.I think you are looking for the 3rd. If so, I’d check out the Fulltone OCD. Zvex Box of Rock is nice but not heavy enough I think for J’s stuff.
I did not see it in anyone’s list.

I didn’t play a proper fuzz until playing for 15 years. I always hated them when I tried them. I previously had a Peavey Classic 50 and used the crunchy overdrive when playing. I wish I had bought a Muff long ago.
I finally got a Zvex Fuzz Factory 6 years ago just because it was so different. It took me 2-3 months of playing around until I "got fuzz" as a concept. It’s important to try one soon because fuzz plays much differently than overdrive. Palm mutting for example is too muddy with Fuzz so if you’ve come from a chunky metal background, fuzzes don’t make sense when you sit down with one for the first time.
Big Muff’s are available for less than $100 new so I would have to say start there, but don’t try playing palm muted riffs or it will sound like mud.
Let your playing ring out and take the time to get used to it. You’ll soon find your touch improved because the Muff does not require heavy stumming to send into wailing territory.
I now have a Big Muff and a Keeley Fuzz Head and use them more than my Fulltone OCD and amp overdrive.
Which of the Big Muffs had the tone bypass switch on the back. I love turning the tone knob off so I am thinking if I ever need a Big Muff to play live with, I should just get the double muff since there are no tone knobs on that. Would they be comparable(sp)?
