Hi all,
I'm desperately looking for a overdrive/fuzz/distortion pedal that creates a horn-like sound. Very smooth, with lots of sustain and midrange.
I'd like to play horn lines and arrangements in a blues/ jazz context, and the guitar by itself always sounds a little thin compared to a horn.
I guess a combination of fuzz and OD could work, not sure if there is a pedal that combines both. The right fuzz alone can sound great (think 'Satisfaction' tone), but in my experience is difficult to control and not as easy to use for fast legato and single note picking. In this case, OD or distortion pedals seem to work better, but they usually lack the organic sweetness and sustain of a good fuzz...
Does anyone have suggestions? I'd very much appreciate any input!!
Cheers! :salude
