How about Gilmour or Corgan using muffs for their main tones?? Are they using the wrong amp?

I don't particularly hear Gilmour's tones as obnoxious. Corgan on occasion, can have an obnoxious tone, but I don't mind at all. Corgan's main tone on Siamese Dream was pretty cool. The best tone I ever remember of his was on "Here is No Why". But no, they are not using the wrong amp.

Are you saying Cannibal Corpse did use the wrong amp?

I later retracted what I said IF its was used as a boost but afa CC is their tone special or something?

Seems to be a trend...https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/threads/metal-zone.337405/#post-4573278
That's like saying Cannibal Corpse did use the wrong Amp for their music. Surprisingly they still use Rectifiers but with a ST8Pro+

Well like I said, I just don’t understand making rules and restrictions when it comes to creating tones. A fat and lower gain sound might work great for my song in 120bpm, the next song in 180bpm though that needs a less low end and more upper mid cut is what a TS9 works great for without having to change anything else. It’s not an amp vs pedal tone thing.

For me, fuzz isn't the same as OD or distortion. It's an actual sound effect not another gain stage like OD or distortion.

IMO.

I sometimes think only Graham Coxon of Blur has been able to use obnoxious distortions in ways that sound decent.

maybe; going to extremes with dirt pedals - takes it beyond what many do with OD and Dist pedals - like lipstick on a pig.


edit: this discussion just reminded me; I have a Source Audio UltraWave around here somewhere, haven't used it in years...it can do basic OD, Dist and Fuzz...but much more, with LFO, cascading channels, foldback, octaves, ptich manipulation, modulation,...I used it to create synth-like tones before my SY-300 and SY -1000...I need to revisit it
