definately not. theres not a lot of chance of getting their sound out of a pedal but my advice is
1. Dont copy them 2. Buy a vintage mesa head; or 3. Get an overdrive pedal. its the second cheapest option but you wont nail their sound it's virtually impossible when a band uses vintage gear.

Actually, the best is to get a Marshall 6100 head. He used that live after the Blue Album came out. It is like a cross between a Mesa and a Marshall, only with more gain capacity than either. It can achieve that kind of Muffy sound, but crunchier with more definition and faaaaar more articulation.

the weezer sound is just one of those things
u'll never duplicate in a pedal listen to them live, they have just any old distortion sound, but on the record, its that magic

you've got the datsuns tone, its that simple i also know that they use marshall 1987x heads, but they could be jmp master volumes or 1959slp's, i can't really tell cause they all look the same |

oh yeah
i'm glad you liked "mf from hell" i can play every single release by the datsuns, but there's only 4 so its not hard
i like their other songs too though, like, super gyration harmonic generator in love and of course mf from hell they're playing near here in new zealand on october 23rd, my b-day is the 15th so fingers crossed i get a ticket! ( although the odds of that happening are about 14 in 500) |
