What IC Chip would add a touch of distortion to LGW?

You know what they say - there's no wrong way to play a fuzz pedal!!

true that! but BJ designed that pedal with humbuckers in mind, and i LOVE it with single coils.

BUT -- if you DO use humbuckers, and hit it HARD with some input signal, it does some funky things

Well, I found this site http://www.theinside.net/misc/Chips/ that has an interesting collection of MP3s demonstrating how different chips sound like in the same pedal. The clips where generated using a 1983 TS9 (with the 2 resistor changes to make it a TS808) through the following chain: Strat->TS9->homemade JTM45 style amp->Shure 545SD -> Symmetrix Mic Pre. Sounds interesting.

- Korean 4558
- JRC 4558
- TI RC4558P
- TA75558P
- TI TL072CP
- TI NE 5532AP
- LF353N
- ST TL072CN
- NE 5532P Malaysia
- Burr Brown OPA2134PA
- ST LM833N

i have to give THIS one a try, gonna take my LGW to George Scholz's amp shop, and plug one of these in and do some vid demos......the Burr Brown OPA2134PA.

i sure do like it with the LF353 in there, for some reason.
