The Buyer's Guide to the Ideal fuzz pedals for blues - What to Keep in Mind

What is a good blues tone?

Getting a good blues sound generally involves using lower gain, clean amplifiers with a lot of mids and treble. Then add some effects that include overdrive and distortion pedals, reverb, and tremolo. You may also experiment with various pickup positions to achieve different tones.

How did Eric Clapton get the cream sound?

Clapton used an SG and a marshall stack in the cream era. Best way to replicate his tone is to get a humbucker equiped guitar and a cranked valve amp, use the neck humbucker with the tone rolled all the way off, and then throw a half cocked wah pedal in between the guitar and amp.

What amp did Clapton use in Cream?

Clapton's main rig in the studio was a pared-down version of what he was using on stage – a 1964 Gibson SG Standard that he purchased a few months before and refinished with the famous “The Fool” psychedelic graphics, his 1966 Marshall JTM45/100 head and a single Marshall 1960B straight front “tall bottom” 4x12 speaker ...

Are blues scales major or minor?

The hexatonic, or six-note, blues scale consists of the minor pentatonic scale plus the ♭5th degree of the original heptatonic scale.

Can you play chords with a fuzz pedal?

Basically, lead guitarists tend to rely on fuzz pedals more so than rhythm players. The logic behind this is pretty obvious – plucking a chord with a fuzz behind your rig will sound too explosive, especially in a live setting. That being said, the perfect spot for a fuzz pedal is within a solo or a melody line.

What fuzz pedal was used on Spirit in the Sky?

The fuzz part is Norman with a built-in overdrive circuit built into his Tele pickguard."

What key is most blues written in?

The two most common keys in blues music are E and A. There are others, but these two keys are the most common.

What fuzz did David Gilmour?

The fuzz was a staple in most setups and like Jimi Hendrix, David also relied on the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face for his overdrive and lead tones.

Did Jimi Hendrix use a fuzz pedal?

For achieving his super-gnarly fuzz sound, Hendrix's initial weapon of choice was the Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face pedal. Powered by a pair of germanium transistors, this stompbox allowed the legendary axeman to attain the aggressive, broken-up sound that defined many of his tracks.
