I can get a resonable facimile of the sound with my Peavey Classic 50/410
and a Heritage "Les Paul." Bass=8, Mid=3, Treble=5, Presence=4, Reverb=4,
Pre=9, Post=5.
YMMV

This sounds crazy, but I got a very, very close duplicate of that sound with a
cheap Strat copy through a Sovtek re-issue Big Muff Pi directly into a Peavey
Classic 50/50 tube power amp. I was fiddling around with that setup at home
while waiting for my MP-1 to arrive. You could probably do it with any good,
clean tube amp and the Big Muff... best bet would probably be a good old
Fender and an original Electro-Harmonix Big Muff.

I'm not much of a Bush fan but I did see them perform Glycerine on SNL.
He did not use any pedals or effects--it was just the overdrive on a
Mesa Boogie amp. I think it was a Dual Rectifier. I remember reading
in some magazine that the entire album was mostly recorded with Marshall
amps...not many pedals.

Are we talking the same song here? I'm not sure how you could even manage to get that kind of thud with a Big Muff... BMs have way =
too much drive for something like Glycerine. The guy also plays a Jazzmaster which makes a BIG difference.

Jazzmaster>Mesa V-Twin>Tweed Bassman reissue. That's what Gavin used on
the record.

There is a distortion control on the Big Muff ya know. I think I had it at
about half, and the volume maxed out to push the power tubes on the amp a bit.
I wasn't actually even trying to match the tune, but the first time I played
that first-position F chord, I had to keep going cuz it sounded nearly
perfect... :) As for "thud" - that's one thing my Muff doesn't seem to be
lacking. Although, I have a friend who has one (also a Sovtek reissue) and it
is shrill and trebly. I guess they're one of those pedals you have to pick
and choose between.
