You can experiment with a not too bad guitar box and with an Eq filter hipass and you can use both high pass and lowpass to get that old radio sound .

1) lots o' harmonics.
2) oversaturated tube effect (for lack of a better term) - a kind of limiting where any peaks get totally mashed.
3) high pass filtering.
i got the XXL, and it does all this quite well. i'm really very happy with it ($100 well spent).

Anyone else play guitar in a heavy capacity? What amps/distortion devices are you using?

it kills the other distortion pedals i've used
(mostly crappy boss overdrives). oh yeah there's
a big difference between fuzz/distortion and
overdrive too. and i'm not a guitarist (although
i am now working on it...just picked up a guitar
and i don't have any tube gear (yet).
i just got a korg a2, and it has some pretty killer
overdrives in it (and it's digital!) at least they
sound good on drums, i haven't played the
guitar through it. it sounds pretty good when I over
drive the mixer too the a3 is the same box and
it's pretty cheap, and has lots of nice effects in
it, including some weird dynamic modulation effects ->
chorus/flange who depth varies with how hard you
play....
also, some things that sound good on guitar sound like
crap on keyboards, and vice versa. i have one of those
1/2 rack boss choruses, and it's hardly noticeable
the few times i've tried to use in on keyboards,
but it sounds nice on guitar....
btw, a friend of mine (who's played guitar longer
than me) got an awesome tone out of a boss 1/2
rack preamp/parametric eq i sold him...overdrive
the front end and the eqs....

mainly i'm a bass player, so that's where i've spent most of me cash. i'm playing an Ampeg b100r at home right now and it's such a nice sounding little amp. i've been running my bass thru the XXL into that thing, and i swear i could record a whole album of just that and be happy with it. i can easily get that Curve fuzzy bass sound. now if i only had time to program some interesting drum loops...
thanks for all the input, folks.

drop them again before it hits a wireless and a marshall
slx stack. I've found no better combination and beleive me
I've looked. Works real good with my nordlead 2 as well.
