LOVE how this dudes guitars sounds. Perfect mix of OD and reverb, the thing sounds amazing. Is it mainly the pickups? Anyone have tips on getting close?
Check the song that starts at 4:48 or so:

First off, thanks for introducing me to this, I haven't heard them yet. I dig it a lot.
As far as the sound goes, I'm curious to his rig myself, but I get the feeling a lot of it is in the fingers. I like to think however that I get a pretty similar crunch sound with the overdrive channel on my Germanium 4 Big Muff through my Twin reverb.
This guy plays like he knows what he's doing, so I'll bet whatever he uses for OD and 'Verb, give him a different guitar, pedal, and amp that do roughly the same effects and he'll sound just as good.

Great band.
I think a bit of amp dirt/verb would be important. Since guitar sounds rely so much on the amp anyway, a good cranked tube combo (or overdrive channel with the gain backed off but still ever-present) with verb would probably get you mostly there, it definitely seems very touch-sensitive which would point to that.

Just read apparently he runs two amps (you can definitely hear this later in the set, there is a clean tone and a fuzz tone) and one of the is an ampeg tube bass stack.

Funny, that was my first thought was a clean and dirty amp simultaneously. Interesting about the bass amp, but I guess it makes sense-I tried doing the two amp thing when I was in a two piece band, but I always ended up with hum and was too cheap to try to solve the problem so I stopped after a couple practices.

Oh, wow. I've never heard of these guys, but I really dig it too. That drumming's intense!
The 'two amps' idea makes sense...I love that contrast between the Twin reverb-y clean and fuzzy-ness. There's a lovely 'separation' effect going on there, and the reverb is really well controlled too. He really does get the balance right because I'd end up with muddy mush if I tried to do the same thing!
Thanks for the link though...I'll have to track down some of their songs now.
