Hey everybody - I hope you're enjoying this video. :) The PSYCHOCANDY SUPERFUZZ pedal that you saw on the thumbnail and demonstrated in this video is a custom effect pedal. A clone that has the same circuit like the The Univox Superfuzz and the Shin-Ei Fuzz Wah (without the Wah). The only differences are: 1.) the 'Color' poti (othe original used a "middy/scooped" tone switch) 2.) the seasons switch "Spring/Summer/Winter/Fall" 3.) the color switch (MId/Original/Cut) These are just subtile options to form the sound a bit more. But I didn't used these for the The Jesus And Mary Chain "Psychocandy" sound in his video. So a custom-made Univox Superfuzz clone (or any other high gain fuzz) + any Wah Wah pedal would the job for the fuzz sound. Thanks for watching!

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

i totally love watching your videos my friend ;)

[@deanaf]

What is the knob on top? I can't read it.

[@aiforbes]

The fuzz on Psychocandy is indeed a Shin-Ei companion, BUT that is not identical to the Super Fuzz circuit. It gets pretty close but the Companion and Companion Fuzz Wah are somewhat different, a really unruly Fuzz that was not popular in it's time. Schematics are online.

[@berlinshoegazer]

@@deanaf It's a seasons switch that gives you different characteristics like more mids, more dirt or more lows.

[@replaceablehead]

The room sound is the distance micing. A lot of the JAMC reverb sound is clever mic placement. It gives it a sense of not only space, but also distance, this is hard to mimic precisely with most reverb pedals because the default predelays are too long.

[@gringogreen4719]

I've been down this rabit hole for about 25 years. My go to amp is a Vox VT30 which I loaded up with a Jensen Mod 10 inch speaker. I got the JAMC tone with both my Danelectro Convertible and also my Gretsch Electromatic with TV Jones pickup. I would bounce around the hi gain amps with the reverb all the way up. It actually sounded convincing. The band actually played a Gretsch Country Gentleman and Gibson 330 with a Bigsby. When I saw them live they used a Gibson 330. The secret to the tone is to get the treble up right before it feeds back. You can use a Rat or a Big Muff but you are going to have to tweek knobs on the amp. I will point out I have several amps and I used to have several JAMC settings dialed into my Fender Cyber Twin back 20 years ago. Its more dialing the tone, using full hollowbody guitars and getting that fuzz. FYI the Gibson is a 330 (basically a Gibson version of the Casino) and Gretsch pickups nail the tone. You can play semi hollow and solid bodies but you will here that lack of air inside the body that the hollowbodies have. I will point out that guitars like a Epiphone Widkat or a Duesenberg will be a pain to get that tone. That is because they are more like a chambered solid body in terms of tone. You can get a similar tone like in the video with solidbodies however the sustain that is inherit in a solidbody will last longer than a hollow body. In a hollow body you have a decay that a humbucker solidbody won't have. A lofi old school type of pickup will sound more in line with what they were using. For the guitars that were not Gretsch or Gibson, the best I can tell you is that they were cheap import guitars with cheap pickups.

[@trteeerryfse-wy2ww]

That bite that one of the guitars in reverence is phenomenal. It literally howls

[@chriswareham]

I built a Shin Ei fuzz clone to get the JAMC sound, as it's such a distinctive tone. Particularly love the single Some Candy Talking as well as the Barbed Wire Kisses compilation that I liked even better than their "proper" albums. Live they were very variable though - first time I saw them they played less than twenty minutes, and last time I saw them the distortion and volume levels rendered every song unrecognisable as anything but a wall of noise.

[@StefanvanderKlooster]

I want that fuzz pedal. This should be produced!

[@berlinshoegazer]

[@flinchey6962]

Never thought I’d see this video, they did the feedback perfect overlaying feedback William had two shin ei Japanese made pedals, its true one of them was broken I think William bought it for 35 pounds, reverb is important great video man you nailed it

[@berlinshoegazer]

Thank you so much, Flinchey.

[@StefanvanderKlooster]

Reorganised my board a bit. Got a nice tone with my Boss FZ-2 (gain boost setting) > EHX Ram’s Head reissue > Polara (spring setting). Cheers again for the tutorial!

[@NotAnybodyElse]

I used an FZ-2 on fuzz 2 with a slightly low battery, AW-2 set as a high pass filter, and EHX Holy Grail on spring.

[@5150show]

Absolutely brilliant, so glad I found your channel, cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@berlinshoegazer]

I'm thrilled to have you on board.

[@latontolog]

Great video as always! I'm a bit of a Mary Chain obsessive and my bands have all been super influenced by them, so I've also spent a lot of time researching how to get that sound. (I'd actually been thinking about making a video like this myself, but it wouldn't have been nearly as good.) I think you nailed it! :) Just some small thoughts: (1) I can definitely hear spring reverb from the amp on some of the guitars on "Psychocandy", but some of them sound rather like they have some kind of plate reverb on them (they don't have the same splashy tail that you'd get from a spring reverb). I believe they (or the engineer, John Loder) were using digital reverb processors for the vocals, probably Lexicon units, and they might have used that for some of the guitars as well. I think the room setting on the Empress reverb that you use sounds really good and quite close to that sound. Personally I think the spring and plate reverb algoritms in the Digitech RV7/Supernatural/Polara are fantastic for the Psychocandy sound (which would make sense considering that they're based on Lexicon algoritms). (2) I've wondered for quite a long time how the guitar sound on "Psychocandy" could be what it is given that, as far as I know, William at this time used exclusively guitars with humbuckers, together with the Shin-Ei fuzz. I've owned a couple of semi-hollow guitars with humbuckers, and when I put them through a Superfuzz style fuzz the sound tends to get very boomy and lack any kind of definition whatsoever, but that's not quite what you hear on "Psychocandy". Maybe it's just a matter of the humbuckers on their guitars being of a higher quality than the ones I'm using, but I'd be curious to know what the explanation is. :p Later during their career, William started using a Gibson ES-330 as his main guitar for live performances (that's what you've got pictured at 7:18 in the video), which has P90 pickups, and that would be a bit brighter and more defined sounding than an ES-335. But I don't think he's been seen with a ES-330 during the "Psychocandy" era. Anyway, personally I use a Mascis Jazzmaster (with single coil pickups) with my Superfuzz and it sounds great -- I also thought the humbucker on the Jaguar you used sounded clear and defined and good with the fuzz, and quite similar to the album. (3) My biggest complaint about the video.. obviously you have to use specifically Wayfarer sunglasses for the right tone, this was a very basic mistake to make! :p

[@latontolog]

@Sasha Nørskov I've heard people say before that William used an FY-2 on the album so that might well be true. :) But there's definitely an FY-6 (fuzz/wah) on much of it, and you can see William using one of those in pictures and videos from this time (as well as during the recent reunion). But yeah, maybe there's some production stuff involved as well. Might be something as simple as putting an EQ before the guitar goes into the fuzz. :)

[@latontolog]

@Sasha Nørskov Yeah, sorry, I had a brainfart, I meant the 8Tr. I own one, find the wah kinda weak but the fuzz is obviously to die for.

[@smtcharlie]

I love JMC. Love. But it’s Honey’s Dead that I obsess over. Any theories or tips on how they got that sound? I thought I read somewhere they put 3 tube screamers in a row ... which sounds just crazy enough for me to believe it!

I mean I get what you're saying, and I think you're partly right, but that's the way any genre or musical movement typically goes, isn't it?

There is a great book "Behind the Glass" where (actual) producers/engineers talk about how how some of the most iconic albums were recorded. They're all anecdotes and they're not all great. Some are technical and some stories are "rockstar fodder". The long and short-take away of it is, there are sounds from certain instruments, that sound like hot garbage when you "solo" them....but sound amazing in context, with the other bits. To "tie this into your video", a lot of shoe gaze guitar tracks sound like pure ass if "solo'd", but cut through a mix and work with the song. Some of the sounds on this vid sound terrible...alone. BUT...in the mix...great. Just my 2 cents.
