| Basic samples by me into a totally
clean solid-state power amp
("PLUS" version): |
 |
Low Gain Fuzz
MIX is set in the lower gain fuzz range with antiphase
effect between D1(+D3) and D2. HI messes with that mix in
the high end, and TONE is near flat. (0:43, 850 KB) |
| This text is here to make the
table work right. blah blah blah. yadda yadda yadda. |
 |
Mixey Distortion
MIX is set to emphasize the lowest gain distortion (D1)
with HI taking its edge off, but there is still some of
D3 mixed in, which due to its higher gain can be heard
seperately at times. A scooped TONE emphasizes this.

 |
Metally Distortion
MIX is in the +D2 range, emphasizing the middle gain
distortion, but towards a fuzz for aggression. HI is less
sensistive, but this setting adds something. Highest gain
but not the dirtiest. TONE is just bright of Contour.

Muff-ish Fuzz-Distortion
MIX is towards the highest gain, triple-cascaded
distortion (D3) with enough antiphase D2 for more fuzz.
HI reduces D1 further. TONE adds a little bass, and look
how low VOLUME is set here. (0:43, 850 KB) |

Playing Dynamics Demo (Fuzz)
This fuzz is extemely controllable just by playing louder
and quieter .... The higher-gain fuzz range of MIX
deemphasizes D1, due to it getting lower volume and having
lower gain. HI set to cut D1 some puts a bit more fuzz on
the high end, and TONE is near flat. (1:32, 1.8 MB) |

on the mix control, mid-low gain, simulated
single coil bridge (far) position.
Direct injected samples (no

Ben
Baird says "Gives you the extra
umph without drasticly altering your tone"
... "This pedal Rocks, I replaced my
Fulltone fat boost with this" (also prev.
used a Rat in that role). Clips from new CDs:
Ben solo: Ain't No
Saint ... here the Subzombie is on the cleaner
guitar (slide Telecaster, clean Fender
amps), not the thicker lead that comes in with
the verse.
With The Divine Affected: In the Now - used for
the more distorted rythm that comes in a few
seconds into the clip and the lead.
=> 128 Kbps Stereo MP3s, ~1 MB each (use

just play it) |

Vandenbergh jams on his
Jackson RR V and Sub through Marshall Jubilee
clean channel: leo1comp1.mp3 (2 MB
excerpt) ... (wah and the delays are before the
Subzombie here, because it's the same as when he
just uses the amp distortion.) |
| Goth band Bella
Morte used Subzombie to make their new
album. It is REALLY subtle, since it is on a
second amp (SS Vox vs. Mesa), just a bit more
modern, rectified or something. The difference
could be explained otherwise, but compare the new
tracks (the titles start with a number) with the
older ones. Samples on their site (music page ...
dialup: let it load, select song, let load more). |
