not sure what it is... its sorta like a really dirty sorta crackly sound but i dont think its distortion. it sounds almost like that buzz your amp makes when u touch your lead with your hands

Possibly a dirty synth pedal? can you describe it in more detail? is their a recording of this effect?

the hives use it a bit in their new album. try listening to the guitars in "B is for Brutus"

If it's like a much less defined distortion, it's fuzz, which is a type of distortion/overdrive. Good pedal for this sort of effect is the Big Muff Pi.

hmm maybe... its like a really crackly distortion? i think ill go to the rockshop n check some of those pedals out

Try Ibanez FZ-7. They're fairly cheap and cut out like crazy. It's a very cool effect.
If you have heaps of money get a Z-Vex Fuzz Factory.
ill check em out... cheers...

Sounds as if it could be a fuzz pedal... theres a few types. the ibanez is probably the better but i haven't seen one in ages anyway, let alone used one.
try the hotcake too, but that's more of an overdrive.
big muffs rule too. recommended phatty sound maker.

another thought, just to throw something weird out there, a pixellator.
Though that said it probably is a fuzz box.

the only time I've seen them is on the digitech multi fx units. They are similar to the ibanez lo fi though.

I listened to 'B For Brutus' and it sounds like a stack of effects at once. There's heaps of distortion, then some kind of noise gate, and it almost sounds like a high pass filter on the opening chords. I don't know the names of guitar pedals, but presumably there are pedals that do all of those things.
It also sounds a little like the guitar is being resampled as a series of sawtooth tones in some haphazard manner that causes lots of artefacts. Haha. Hope that makes it really clear. ;) That said I doubt there's a resampling guitar pedal out there, at least not one that would actually synthesize the sound from tiny grains.
Does a pixelator do resampling at lower sample rates and/or bit reduction...?
Could be a limiter or compression as ...
Could be a limiter or compression as well as the noise gate as well. It sounds like the volume is being maintained in a weirder way than just an overdrive type effect, ie. when the notes should tail off they're s remaining loud but changing character. At least at the start.
*shrug*
This from someone who farts around with a computer. I have a couple of old guitar pedals lying around, but none that do anything like this.

hmm interesting... it would be a very cool effect to have on my pedalboard thats for sure. looks like ill have to experiment with a number of pedals at the same time to get that sound

On a vaguely related note chaps I'm trying to get a harmonicy kind of thing going... like in the Chilli's song Parallel universe at the end, or a few Motley Crue songs, where it seems to be alternating between a note and its harmonic. Kinda like feedback except alternating instead of staying at the harmonic... How does one make this sound? Is it maybe like pick the note, then turn it into artificial harmonic? I don't know and it's a cool sound I'd like to be able to make. Cheers.
