I'm devastated. Lost. Without hope.
Gah!
I'm in search of the Lost Sound.
This won't mean anything to anyone, except obviously Nick. And me.
In the 80s, I used to have a guitar sound that was killer-diller.
I had an HH IC120 combo, an HH 4x10 cab, a 1972 Fender Strat (lovingly mellowed and worn-in, maple neck, whammy bar) put through an Electric Mistress flanger, Boss chorus, Wem Copycat, Boss octave-dropper, a CryBaby,...and this weird little overdriver called The Rat.
The sound was somewhere between The Banshees (Rat on) and the Coctaeu Twins (Rat off).
It was all beautifully analogue, nothing digital about it.
It goes without saying that not an atom of that stuff I had remains in 2008 and I've been trying desperately to recreate The Sound.
But I CAN'T.
