My attempt on Neil Young-style tone

Hi! After buying my first reverb pedal, I messing around with it and my other pedals and find something, that has, IMHO, some NY style tone. Yes, it's not actually attempt to get exactly same tone. Especially, since I play with tele and direct to PC via preamp with amp sim, but I feel, that it has that raw qualities, like NY has in his more experimental albums like deadman soundtrack and Le Noise.
Also, I wonder that I have a lot of dynamics in my ODs pedal even without any tubes after them, from almost clean to total fuzzyness.

PS I am not trying to say, that I have many success in my attampt, just want to share it to folks here.

Hey Jester,


Sounds real nice man! Very Dead Man-esque.


Which reverb did you end up getting?

Sounds awesome. What did you use? Really dynamic drive sound.

Cool vibe! So did you go tele into reverb into computer or you using some OD boxes too?

I did a photo of actual board with particular settings. So, chain was:
Catalinbread Fn5->Menatone WMB (boost side is off)->mxr CC->TC electronic HoF-> AMT F-1 for preamp and direct to PC, with software cab sim. So, even stacked together CB and Menatone gives a wide dynamic range. CB gives some raw mids and Menatone makes it sound huge.
PS Also I have space for another pedal, but I am not sure, which one.

Jester, I did the same thing when I got my first reverb, I had to record the awesome vibe and effect that my playing was reacting through. It's pretty addicting, and Dead Man is a great vibe to go for. I think you got it man. That Catilanbread sounds really good. I've been thinking of something like the Fn5 or the RAH, Dirrty little Secret mkII. I don't play with OD alot, but man, do they have good OD.

That was pretty nice, JR. .
