Let's talk about Failure

Post by jrfox92 »

Well, I just listened to the new album. :!!!:
I like it. Don't quite love it, but it feels like a pretty good follow up to Fantastic Planet. I liked how it's basically presented as "Part II" with the segues being 4-9 rather than just a new series of segues.

OH. So, I've been on a Failure kick for the last couple of weeks and I've just been looking over any and all info involving their gear before the newest stuff.
Does anyone have their personal preference as to pedals that get you "that Failure sound." The only singular one I can think of that might qualify would probably be the Fuzzrocious Heliotrope, though I don't have one so I wouldn't be able to comment as to how it sounds in real life. I've read that it's a good place to start with a Big Muff (I assume Creamy Dreamer since that's what Greg uses in Autolux), Proco Rat, and some sort of Maestro Fuzz for the bass sound and an MXR Distortion + into a Marshall JMP-1 into a Big Muff into a Twin Reverb for guitar (plus an MXR Phase 90 and Mu Tron Octave Divider). But I'm curious what other combinations other people have come up with that sound "just about right."

Maybe I should clarify that I really wanted to talk more about the gear...
