Guitar sound Genesis live Darryl Streumer or Steve Hackett?

[reflectingme]

David - would you be able to let me know how I am able to reproduce the guitar sound reminiscent of Genesis live (Darryl Streumer or Steve Hackett) on songs such as Carpet Crawlers et al please? Is that a Les Paul type effect...?

 

the sound I'd love to try to reproduce on guitar is on this youtube link, around 1:40 (and the remainder of the track)

I know you're asking David, but if you don't mind, i'll chime in in the man time. Too me it sounds like a simple combination of a fuzz pedal (like a fuzz face) and the neck pickup of an electric guitar. I'm pretty sure you could get close with a les paul or a strat.

 

In logic, i would suggest loading a audio channel strip with the pedal board and then amp designer and selecting the vintage or modern british stack in amp designer, try to get that fairly clean sounding, then go back into pedal board and select happy fuzz face or the other red one. Make sure you check it out with you guitars pickup selector on the neck pickup (on a tele, the switch should point towards the headstock and tuners). Play around with it, have fun.

Not at all Chimpotle - thanks for responding. I'll most certainly have a play with those settings in Logic. Thanks a million for taking the time to reply, very much appreciated.
