I received a request to do a clip of the Smashing Pumpkins' Cherub Rock and thought I would share. I wanted to use Rhy 2 channel. I had about 20 mins to learn and record this quick clip (I won't have time to play again until the end of next week). I'm not 100% happy with the recorded tone but think I'm on the right track. I used the bridge pickup but I'm thinking the neck might give a more rounded, fuzzy tone like on their album.

I'm not real familiar with the tune and I've never played their stuff before. I promise the mix will get better!


 
That sounded really good, especially for R2! :rock: No clue how the original album version sounds, but yours sounded great.

Thanks mang! The original has more of a fuzz type tone to it. I thought the looseness of R2 would be a great start for the tone. When I listen to my clip again it sounds too clean compared to the original. I guess you could say it is Smashing Pumpkins (as interpreted by the Mark IV).

Does anyone know what Billy Corgan used for their recording? I'd be pretty interested.
