So I’ve been somewhat obsessed with Bernard Butler’s guitar tone since the first Suede record, and thanks to some guitar magazine interview circa then I’ve been convinced since, like, 1994 that his lead tone was the product of some esoteric and expensive ’60s Japanese fuzz pedal and spent no small amount of time over the years trying to figure out what it was
, BBC Radio 2 got Butler to sit down with the gear he recorded “Animal Nitrate” with way back in 1992 and play it for the first time since he left the band in 1994. And, at about the five-minute mark in the video, he offhandedly mentions the rare, unobtanium stompbox that made those magic sounds was… a Boss DS-2
Of course, in this context it’s far from common. Kind of like watching Butler casually break down all the parts of the song and making it sound like it’s just some thrown together chords and riffs and not pure aural magic. And on top of all of that, just seeing Butler play Suede again – even if it’s as a lesson – is pretty special.
Songs Guitarists Need To Hear By… Blur
The official video… I remember seeing this on MuchMusic in 1993. I wouldn’t become a proper Suede fan for some years after that, but it still made quite an impression.
And because there’s just not that many recordings of Bernard playing live with Suede, here’s their performance of the song from the 1993 Brit Awards. Sound is a little off but the visuals are great.
I got it in my head it was a Shin-Ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz which, if you’ve ever heard it, sounds nothing like the lead tone on “Animal Nitrate”. But, in the ’90s, hearing stuff you couldn’t actually get your hands on was nigh-impossible. It was the dark ages, man.
Bernard Butler's Boss Ds 2 Turbo Distortion
It actually took me a number of years to get a DS-2 for myself, despite them being cheap and plentiful. And while I don’t have the Vox AC30 to run it through (yet!), it’s that sound.
