Smashing Pumpkins - Rocket (cover)

after hours of frustration of not being able to develop the effects for the mini solos in this song i thought id do it my way...

this time i HOPE i got it right tho, this is just me for once recording 2 separate guitar tracks with my Godin A6 and mixing them

I have some insight as to the effects used in the lead parts.

Billy actually used an Octaver (pretty sure a BOSS Octaver) on it, along with one of his many fuzz pedals (possibly a Muff) and a fender blender. While it'd be damn near impossible to get the exact sound, especially with Billy. Also take note that the song used nearly 70 guitar tracks at one point. However, you can get the best sound using a fuzz pedal with an octaver set to a low setting.

@peniosasdasd THANKS SO MUCH for the insight man... .. i need to get an octaver for sure ... i cant believe 70 backing tracks ... only billy corgan ... that is fucking insane!!!

lol i wish I was good enough

i know you're not using one,but during the um..bridge or pre-chorus or whatever you wanna call it,sounds like there's a banjo in there. interesting effect and i like the way you layered the guitars. corgan would be proud. overall the solos are good. i probably couldn't even attempt to play them as good as album,and this comes pretty darn close except a couple of places,but that's okay cuz i don't think you had the neccesary fx/slides or whatever to play this,so i give it an 8 for layering.

the effect i thiiiiiiiiink was just from one of the ones on garage band from a mac i cant be sure tho

SP is my favorite rock band of all time and the band that inspired me to learn to play the drums. Your guitar work is very good and I really enjoyed it. Keep it up!
