Let's reference the song Over the Hills and Far Away for this question, although I understand that an acoustic guitar is used in this song, so on and so fourth.
HOW do you go about combining a clean guitar tone with a distorted guitar tone in a song and effectively and artistically? Any time I go about recording a distorted tone it seems to contrast way too much with the initial clean tone and it doesn't sound pleasing at all. I'm using germanium fuzz pedals, which I'm sure will prove to be a factor.
I try to clean up the tone with the fuzz pedal instead of completely turning it off instead of completely eliminating that influence to encourage more consistency, but I'm still not achieving what I'd like to.
Any tips?
