Guitar to Fuzz Pedal to Interface to DAW

[jens]

It all works if that's what you're after. These days I like to refine the sound a bit, use an amp sim to tame the guitar a little so it sits better in a mix, avoid the fuzz spraying over every frequency there is. I

You're right when other instruments are introduced in the mix the fuzz guitar is either overwhelming (spraying everywhere and mushy) or under the other instruments. It's tricky getting the right balance. How could I resolve this as the original fuzz sounds amazing? If I use the Sim Amp what amp settings do you recommend if I feed a Guitar with Fuzz Pedal through it and so it doesn't overwhelm the other instruments in the mix or vice versa where it's behind the other instruments?

The guitar sound (the chords) here is what I'm after ;

I hear a lot of amp-feedback - has nothing at all to do with fuzz and is much more difficult to achieve both in and out of the box.

There's this one though:

I posted this in another thread a while back;

One nice trick to simulate feedback is to copy your guitar (or whatever..) track and stick the copy through a filter which does self-oscillation - I like the P & M 'Moogy Filter' for this as it has an envelope follower. Then route this back to the same mixer track as the original so it goes through the distortion/amp sim. You can fade up and down the level of feedback of your copied track, and also the pitch with the cutoff frequency. If you need long feedback then timestretch the copied parts.

Always worth a try..

Oh, I have to try that asap! Thanks for the tip!

(in my hosts of choice I don't even need to copy the track)

It's

I find that fuzz pedals interact really strongly with different tonestacks and levels of amplifier gain. A clean bright tonestack really brings out the sizzle, whereas into a dirty mids-forward amp the fuzz effect is more subtle.

What amp settings do you recommend when using a Fuzz Pedal?
