How to get huge vintage fuzz tones (and great cleans) - Pablo from DeWolff

Pablo van de Poel of DeWolff shares his love for fuzz and vintage effects of all kinds, explaining how he achieves a rich variety of tones from warm cleans to scuzzy Hendrix-esque fuzz and vintage auto-wah. Showing us the settings, sounds and signal chain tricks he uses to sound immense on stage, no fan of vintage rock will want to miss this.

Great interview! I love that you don’t interrupt, you just let him take his time answering the question. A rare skill!

[@mofateam1]

DeWolff are so great their music made me cry when they played in Cologne last year. Best show I´ve seen for a long time.

[@lummsmusik3219]

Yeah! Pablo and DeWolff is absolutely epic rock band. I have gone to every concert I can reach for years many now.

[@rafaelzengo5534]

This guy is a great player with great tones. More power to him

[@BillAltman]

Fuzz is so expressive and such a rabbit hole

[@30_second_guitar]

Yeah. Lets talk about tube screamers xD

[@AndyH2O]

Excellent, what a great devotion to fuzz he has, plus that Fulltone tube echo is a thing of beauty.

First saw Dewolff last year supporting Jared James Nichols. They are phenomenal musicians with excellent showmanship. Saw them in Nottingham this month on their headline tour. If you get the chance definitely see them live.

This is cool as hell, much like DeWolff. Caught them live opening for The Black Crowes and I’ve been a massive fan ever since. Cant wait to see them again, they’re the real deal!

[@versnellingspookie]

I once was a stage hand for these guys, and they're such lovely fellows! Really kind people. I noticed Pablo left behind a pick on stage after the show, and i'll admit i definetly took that with me as a souvenir 😊

[@Kouros-t6d]

DeWolff great band not just for Pablo but for the great keyboardist as well.

[@reijerlincoln]

Very good player. Saw DeWolff live last year - impressive band. Fun too.

[@marcop1587]

I saw these guys in 2011: great show the crowd got absolutely crazy. Badass Firebird btw 👌🏻

[@popcorny11]

Never heard of them, but I now will. Thanks for sharing, reminded again of some great tips regarding using guitar controls. Also really enjoyed his playing style!

[@nilsx3020]

Killer tones, Pablo is a killer player and DeWolff are an amazing band. Check them out when you can!

[@zorzum]

I saw DeWolff in Spain last week … Just a fantastic band

[@Mr.D34]

Thanks a lot, i was really curious to see what his current pedalboard looks like. Both Pablo and DeWolff are amazing.

[@CallMeSmigl]

Excellent guitarist with an exquisite taste in gear

[@markstone2153]

Phenomenal guitarist and tones

[@maartendijkstra9829]

Awesome player and a great band!

[@asiergonzalez5260]

Very underrated band and very nice guys

[@TheSmokedIrises]

Beautiful guitar

[@thecaveofthedead]

Lol. Dude uses a Plexi as a boost. The Marshall 1974X is really underrated. It's a fantastic gigging amp with a great sound. And make no mistake. It might be 18W but it's loud as hell.

[@MatoMisik]

Awesome video 👍👏🎸🔥

[@Advaitamanta]

THIS IS THE TONE WHEN I SAY I WANT THAT TONE

[@Botscarblues]

🎶All you need is fuzz, …fuzz is all you need 🎶

[@petersmulders8413]

Pablo, man, wat complex, maar erg signature zullen we maar zeggen. Ik heb mijn knobs altijd op 10! Time 4 change, bedankt voor de inspiratie. Toen we in Sittard spraken over je sound, zei je, eigenlijk heel simpel? Maar dat is in the eye of the beholder denk ik dan. Anyway, gast, you rock. Untill we meet again mate!! Groet, Peter

[@jochemjonker3362]

Surprised,Pablo doesn't have an Ampeg Sub Blaster(reissue or a clone of it) on his board.When you love Hendrix feel,this piece is the one to have.

[@denssession644]

Oh Yes ✌️😎, So much Vibe

[@daviddelossantos6075]

Fantastic! 🎉

[@512adms7]

Holy Firebird batman

[@Joe-mz6dc]

Yes!

[@therewasascene]

Like and comment just for the thumbnail Congrats :)

[@OierMoyanoNavarro]

Interesting, can the boss ds1 be used for a similar purpose?

[@deanallen927]

If that's what I think it is, that's an ULTRA rare - Firebird!!!!

[@JoeyGriffey]

:30 he turns up the lean back!

[@mcrozer]

Does anyone know which pedal loop switcher he uses on his board?

[@RvD-or3sr]

American Loopers

[@aschneider70]

A 1973 NYC pimp.

[@benlogan430]

They won’t even sell you those boots unless you’re actually cool.

[@marcop1587]

Sendra Boots, spanish excellence right there 👌🏻

[@slimlinebond]

Judging by the toes on his boots , he has a shocking toe dragging problem , so if he wants to get some decent boots , get them custom made in El Paso, Texas, cowboy boot capitol of the world !!!

[@StratsRUs]

Vintage fuzz tones are the simplest to get

[@joshperry6866]

Fairies wear boots… you gotta believe me

[@30_second_guitar]

Looks like try hard all the way but what a cool guy and great vintage sound

[@luizdemarco99]

you got to have some serious balls to switch to a preamp + DI distortion sound live, mid show

[@VisualSOLUTIONSMedia]

What pickups?

[@arthurarnould1370]

This guy is crazy. His pedalboard is really a mess 😅

[@jimdep6542]

It's all in the fingers............oh wait....
