Tym Muddy Cat demo

Post by HorseyBoy »

Did a quick demo of an old Palace song, "The Brute Choir" (possibly because I've been listening to the album it's off, "Viva Last Blues" a hell of a lot lately), to show off the Tym Muddy Cat fuzz. Done in 4-track style (two guitar tracks, two vocal tracks) with a Rode mic, a 1970 VibroChamp amp and two guitars: aluminium Harvester for the rhythm track (with the fuzz dialled down and the volume rolled off) and a 1980 Greco Super Real Les Paul for the lead track (neck pickup, fuzz on full, volume rolled off then turned up at the end). The idea was to show it being not like a Muff (the rhythm track) and very much like a Muff (the single note stuff) at the same time.
Couldn't get the embedding to work so you'll have to click the link, I'm afraid:

Wow. Thanks for posting that. I really love the tones you were getting all around. I have always been a fan of gritty rhythm and singing violin-like lead was super cool. Nice work! I can hardly wait to get my grubby mitts on one of these. :badteeth:

^ Thanks, guys. Only had it for a couple of days so I haven't really had the chance to get properly acquainted with the Muddy Cat yet, just a quick play and straight into recording. Only played it through the VibroChamp at bedroom volumes so it'll be nice to run it through some bigger amps. Want to throw a wah (or two) in front of it, too, and see how it handles that. And more guitars… Lots to do. But it's definitely a versatile beast. I've only ever played one (which belongs to jerms), but at full fuzz it did remind me of an Elk Super Fuzz Sustainar, which was apparently one of the Muffs Tim was using as a reference.
