I like the pulsing, driven sound. What guitar and amp did you use?

I have a fender pawn shop offset special:

Mine's pink like picture in the review.
I didn't use an amp, the tascam 244 has pretty great EQ on each channel. I plugged directly in (through a Roland Waza Craft delay) and turned the gain up to about 7-8 in order get really great distortion, then used the parametric EQ to sweep the resonant peaks around until I zeroed in on that chunky low end will the upper bite.
That and the analog delay together made the overall guitar sound what it is.
The Tascam 244 was built in the early 80's. It's a hell of a useful recording tool. I sometimes use it as a preamp distortion effect when playing through my tube amp (which is a Fender Blues deluxe reissue, which I mostly like but I have some major irritations with the overall way that amp is designed.)
