    I have a fender tele and am looking to get a crunchier version of a John Frusciante sound. Clear, warm and tight but with good crunch on chords. I've been messing around with my V-amp and have gotten fairly close but it still has a bit of a synthetic sound. That said, maybe if I play it through an amp rather than into a desk that will get fixed.

    What amps/settings/pedals should I be looking at for the sound I'm after?

    I found this at http://www.wholenote.com/store/guitar/effects/amp_modelers/default.asp

    It's for the Line 6 - well, you can read that for yourself - which is an amp modeller for guitar. It sounds terrific through an amp and just a fine through the desk. It emulates everything from an AC40 to a Marshall Stack (including different speaker cabs) and is bound to have the sounds you need. At the rpice, I'd recommend it as a purchase, anyway - I spent a bit more on mine in a shop - and I'm sure you can shop around and find it at a price you can afford.


    Anyway this is their ad:

    Best of luck
