YAPS: Yet Another Peach Sample

While I wait for my Darlington's to arrive, I've been goofing with more transistor setups for my fuzz effect, Peach. I threw together this quick sample, which is quite poorly recorded (I just have the mic hanging in front of the speaker) — but you'll get the idea. I'm playing my 88 Les Paul since it's my fattest guitar, and the samples go from the bridge pickup with no tone, to the bridge pickup with full tone, then to the neck pickup with full tone. After this, I play a simple sustained lead-line just to show off the sustain I'm getting with my secret formula, then I end with a little bluesy noodle that shows sustain, but without the intentional holds.

Three artists immediately came to mind when I heard this: Bush, Soundgarden and The Breeders.

But, man, that’s some hairy tone.

Yeah, TOTALLY hairy! I’m beginning to really enjoy fuzz tones now.

As for The Breeders, the snippet I’m playing is actually “Opened” off their Pod album.

Also, the fatness cleans up a bit when I’m playing a “wimpy” guitar like my Strat or Tele, so the hair is a little more obvious with my full LP/pipckup combo.

No kidding? I must have ESP.
