alexclaber Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Something Tubescreamerish should give you the requisite midrange. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerboy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 This is what I use when I need to sound like a 'lead' guitar: [url="http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/DRAGONFLY-LAYOUTS_0/album17/album06/HARMONIC_JERKULATOR.jpg.html"]http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php...ULATOR.jpg.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfinger Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You might try the MXR bass blowtorch. Not only can you control distortion/fuzz level but there's a blend too, so you can dial in as much or as little in. There's a 3 band EQ and a 3-way switch to let you select mid frequency. When I hit the the red button on the side I get mental, almost synth fuzz. Use it for playing Muse songs live and just as overdrive. I think it will sort you right out.

cheddatom Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 When I play chords it sometimes sounds just like a very low huge guitar. I do that by blending clean with a very trebley attacking overdrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Just to throw another option into the hat - Danelectro French Toast. It's distortion and octave up. Maybe a bit fuzzy for you, but they sell for peanuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I agree it's a great pedal, but it won't really help you sound like a guitar IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boss OD was to harsh, but I was really impressed with the MXR blowtorch, when it's really cranked it does go a bit synthy. Plus the eq means I can get it to cut right through the mix. Thanks for the advice! I think I've decided on the MXR blowtorch, it's one of the few suggestions I was able to try and I was impressed by it.
