I ran into an issue at a gig last weekend. I was playing through an Orange Rocker with the gain set just over half way, so pretty dirty and driven (Glorious I might hasten to add!). I stepped on my Musket (gain set at about 2 o'clock), hoping to get a smooth, sustaining violin-type tone but instead, the notes just got really gated/choked/congested and MASSIVELY compressed - so much so that you could barely hear them.
My questions to the learned forumites here are:
1) When people talk about fuzz into an "overdriven" amp, are we talking "just on the edge of break-up" overdriven?
2) Would a fuzz-face type circuit be better for this than a Big Muff style circuit?
