AMZ IC Muff distortion pedal guitar effect Demo, I built it
April 72010
http://www.fillmorepedal.com This is a — S T E R E O — demo of the AMZ IC Muff distortion pedal that I built, designed by Jack Orman. I am playing the 1967 Gibson SG Custom guitar through a 1994 Crate Vintage Club 20 amplifier.
I built the IC Muff back in 1995 but yesterday I took it apart and heavily modified it, and put it in a new case. Mods include changing the op amp to a Fairchild LF353 and increasing the gain, and adding true bypass wiring with a footswitch. The LF353 gives it a much nicer sound though it breaks up more at high levels — which is A Good Thing in my opinion.
Keep an eye on the guitar knobs as I go through the demo I crank it up a couple times as the demo goes on.
Notice the 35 SECONDS SUSTAIN I can get one 1 note with this foot pedal. This pedal is not good for playing fast it is better for slow, lots of sustain, and to play with harmonics. Most of it I am playing with the rhythm pickup with the tone control all the way down. Then with the tone control on the guitar all the way up I switch to middle & treble pickup combination, and treble pickup only. It is easier to control the IC Muff using just the rhythm pickup with the tone control on the guitar turned down all the way. It can get those early Robert Fripp/King Crimson sounds or Queens of the Stone Age tone.

In this module we review a Maestro vintage effect fuzz box made by Gibson – Norlin played through a Silvertone vintage tube head and Matchless cabinet. Check out all the tones – many more video lessons and gear reviews at http://www.nextlevelguitar.com
This is a variation of the other video I uploaded a minute ago. As I am asked quite a few times per week if the RPs can produce some heavy distortions or sweet long sustaining solo tones I thought I make a video for you guys and girls that features a few of those presets. Again I didnt change a single parameter on none of the examples what you hear is what you get. I also used the poweramp in of an amplifier called “The Valve” which is a italian made 2×12 combo. But since I use the poweramp in the amps preamp is not in the signal chain…the RP is the preamp for all the the examples.
A good way to get a great distortion tone with the boss ds 1 pedal. Enjoy
Showing the versatility and tone of my new axe, Carvin CS6. I’m using the guitar’s volume control to go from clean to distortion. It has coil taps so you can get some strat-ish sound out of it too.
Thought I’d put together a demo of the Blackstar HT-Dual. I tried this pedal out recently and fell in love with the tone from it. For a long time I’ve been looking for a way to get a Marshall-like distortion from my Fender Twin and this in my opinion is the closest thing to it. I love the Twin for its immaculate clean tone but I’ve always loved the Marshall crunch as it’s the quintessential rock sound!
A review of a Dimarzio PAF and a Dimarzio Super Distortion.
Just a little sample what the Egnater Rebel can do. Pardon my playing- I haven’t played in awhile, but this amp inspired me to play!! The distortion sounds a little compressed do to the camera’s microphone so this is probably not the best representation of what she sounds like. It’s still decent though.
This is testing my bran-new Slash Signature Les Paul VOS.
http://www.visualsound.net SON OF HYDE distortion pedal. This is the dirty side of the Jekyl & Hyde combo overdrive/distortion pedal from VS. Super versatile dirtbox, and built like a tank. Priced right, and cool lookin’ too. I used a http://www.kingbeeguitars.com Relic Telecaster and a http://www.jaguaramplification.com Jaguar Twin Amplifier. Sorry…this clip is pre-microphone on the amp..deal with it! : )
