Clips: SUF Astoria, Vibrolux, IRs

[greatmutah]

I thought I’d have some fun and put my Astoria to tape. For those unaware, it’s a meticulously crafted Ram’s Head Muff cloned from a Ram’s Head that belonged to one Pete Cornish and it may have also belonged to David Gilmour. So I decided to take that pedal, my Strat and my Vibrolux normal channel to get some cool sounds. Using my 8 ohm Captor so there’s a one step impedance mismatch, but I don’t have the amp fully cranked. Volume is 5, treble 5.5, bass 4. Strat is an American Special with SSL-6 in the bridge and Pure Vintage 59s for the neck and middle. Did I mention I love this Strat? Because I do. It’s my favorite Strat. Going through my board with a few specific pedals also turned on.
I’m using some WoS Cab. It’s the Fortin Beast Cream which is based off his 4x12 with Creamback 75s. It’s one of my favorite IR/virtual cabs. Mic blend of 421 and SM57. No additional EQ.

First segments are Muff alone. Volume at 11:30, tone at 1:00 and sustain at 8:45. Bridge pickup then neck.
Second set are Muff boosted by SD-1. Volume 2:00, tone 1:00 and gain off. The mid boost of the SD-1 is fierce.
3rd set is the same pedals but with some Dispatch Master Delay and Verb. I love this pedal.
4th set I add in my EHX Small Clone. Depth low and Rate at 2:45.

Enjoy and please ignore my shitty playing. I’m sure you can figure out what kind of sounds I’m going for here.

Sounds killer! makes that strat sound THICK. Perfect desert/stoner rock tone

I love this pedal. With the SD-1 it just gets mean but still retains that smoothness. Also the Fender amp as pedal platform is just amazing. While I want and will be getting a Bassman, it’s cool that this amp can cover similar bases.

That sounds great. I need to do a fuzz rock project/record one day. That's a style I haven't explored yet and when I hear clips like this, it's inspiring.

Yeah sounds real good. Got me thinking about a Vibrolux again...

Those tones are fantastic! Gotta love SUF fuzz pedals. They're some of the absolute best, and sound great with Fender amps.

Thanks Dave! I love my SUF Astoria. Matt recently said that he may do another Red Army Overdrive run. If he does, that's a guaranteed purchase. If he doesn't, I'll probably grab a Civil War. Or maybe the Red Menace to try one of his Muffs with mids.

I have their Red Army and it's just flat out great. Highly recommend if you're a Muff fan.
