Hey all,

I was chatting with @jjjimi84 about what affect Tom Bukovac uses on his incredible solo on the Trip The Witch song "Planet TD1".

I'm not sure if it's some kind of fuzz or what but it sounds so cool! I want to build one:)

Can anyone ID this? Solo starts around 2:08 mark but I'd listen to the whole thing, it's so good.

 
I was just watching some Homeskoolin and Tom talks about this very song, and gives a lesson on the chords.

At the 7:00 mark, he says the fuzz pedal was the "Plasma".

Cool! I have not had time to watch Youtube lately and have not been keeping up with Uncle Larry's prolific postings:)
(But I do have the T-shirts.....:)

When he first started his channel at the beginning of the lockdown was also when I was recovering from surgery and I spent a LOT of time watching every Home Skoolin episode.

He just posted this solo and man is it incredible. It could very well be the lightning bolt fuzz thing, it is a really gnarly fuzz that is heavily gated.

Wow, that sounds like the take that's on the album.

Edit: Just read the caption on Youtube, it IS the take from the album. Lightning Bolt Pedals Rulz!
 
I listened to this album quite a bit over the last few days. Recorded this little number trying to get close to the lighting fuzz effect. I used a dung beetle into a BigNoise Echoes and got somewhat close. Mind a few clams I started reaching for some intended weirdness and I didnt feel like grabbing my bass so that is the LP into the ocelot with the dry signal off for them bass sounds.

That's freaking awesome! I love the chord progression! Can you share some stems? I'd love to throw some jams down.....
 
Ohh, album collaboration between @jjjimi84 and @MichaelW is in the works. You heard it here first.

Check out the Trip the Witch instagram site. There's a few posts which are the videos that Tom and Dean sent to each other fleshing out musical ideas--very cool to see their process.

Sounds great Dan!
And Tom Bukovac is off the scale in the guitar universe...
 
I had to laugh seeing this response to someone asking on some Reddit forums about the schematic for the Plasma Pedal --

"Nice try Josh"
