Hillman1312 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hello Helix community, I'm working on a preset for playing Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, but I'm having trouble getting close to that fuzz tone. So far I have the tone as attached to this post. It is essentially a Fuzz pi followed by aTop Secret OD. I did that as I could not really get the tone using only the available fuzz models. Would appreciate if someone would have a listen and propose some possibilities to get closer to the tone of the record. The clean tone is good enough for me although could be a bit more dirty. No worries about that. (Please note this patch is to be used live.) Thanks !!! Satisfaction.hlx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco_Crocco Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I turned down the gain on the distortion and turned up the gain on the fuzz. It sounded a little closer. OP you really should post what kind of guitar/pickups you're using. That info is needed to get the gain right. . I used a Strat with fairly high output single coils to get the sound.

Hillman1312 Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Yeah sorry about that. It's one of those Thomann Fusion pro II guitars with a humbucker in the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckittel Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I'm getting awesome results using this chain: strat with humbucker set to bridge (use a heavy pick picking close to the bridge saddle - original recording was a '59 les paul) obsidian 7000 fuzz (original recording was a Gibson Maestro fuzz-tone) US Double Nrm amp (original recording was a fender dual showman) Bitcrusher (just a little gain 13.5, mix 29%) eq low and high cut (low cut off, high cut 6.3kHz - this keeps the highs from being to harsh) '63 spring transistor tape delay eq with mid gain boosted volume patch (52%) you can stick a hard gate after the bitcrusher if you want I created a second snapshot with the fuzz off for the verse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
