Somehow I got the heaviest, doomy-stoner tone out of the Holden with:
- preamp dimed and master on about 3 (which just adds a bit of hair really, its a pretty clean amp)
- tubescreamer with gain at 9'oclock
- Damn and Blast boost with gain just over halfway

Either of those things on their own are barely even dirty, but the three combined... must just be too much for the tubes to handle cause it sounds immense.

Recorded it this morning, I still can't believe this is just a tubescreamer and a boost going into a cleanish amp. Its a bit sloppy (pretty much one take-rs) but it sure was fun. Loving this tone!! Actually sounds better in the room than recorded I reckon (testament to my very rudimentary recording skills :p)



if anyone cares its:

Two tracks of Guitar: LTD Phoenix (C# standard) with Fastback Beardcomber in the bridge -> Silverpistol Damn and Blast (both comp and boost on) -> Keeley Modded TS-9 -> Holden 100 -> Valvestate Cab -> Audix i5 mic

Bass: Squier Vintage Modified Short Scale Jaguar Bass -> Ampeg SCR-DI -> direct.
