Spaghetti Western FUZZ

[sengo]

My Fuzzrite with LOTS of reverb gets pretty close to that tone. ALso I've found that a lot of reverb into an overdriven amp gives me a similar result.

Don't forget he used a baritone guitar on many of those tunes.

I have an Ennio Morricone folder on my desktop with all my favorite Spaghetti Western music

For some reason I keep thinking baritone guitar.

Well...I like The Good, The Bad & The Ugly theme so much....The Turtles have used it to open their concerts for a dozen years!
But our bassist quit...the guy from New York doesn't know the changes...the end of an era (sigh).
I also LOVE the way they kick the reverb for musical/emotional punctuation...SO cool!

 Need a bass player?  Just kidding! 

Yeah, I would imagine FZ1(or similar)+ reverb would be the way they got that kinda sound sound.

Baritone guitar somehow brings to mind the flatwound muted sound of the Munsters theme...

Didnt someone speak to the guitarist that worked the session for that song?  I think the guy said it was a strat into a marshall combo, with a little outboard sweetening, but no pedals!

Another fuzz sound in the same vein:

The reverb in good .bad .ugly is really drippy and long too, like a plate, or echo chamber, and i agree about hearing phase anomalies and 'motion' in there .  One of my favorite movies too... aaaEEEaaaEEEaaahhh...  wah Wah  wahhh.....
i would do a treble booster into a  slightly saturated tube amp with lots of reverb (lots).
maybee add a little warble with a bit of chorus or flanger ?
you could probably get in the neighborhood with a wah pedal if it had a nice puchy spot with cutting treble, and lots of reverb  (lots).
wear a cowboy hat and keep yo guns loaded when you play it.

Today I tried running my wah pedal, rocked fully forwards so it's all treble, into my Thor set pretty low, plus lots of reverb, and I think It nailed the spaghetti western buzzy/metallic twang.
