I made FX rigs for Rig Pack 04 for this exact purpose
from the pdf:
FX Alien Bender
A great source of deep, spacey drones. Low, sustained
single notes turn into a big, vibrating cloud of sound that
gets smoother over time. Chords start out dissonant, almost
distorted, and evolve into ambient washes. The Frequency Shifter
together with pre and post amp compression are the main
ingredients here. Depending on your guitar and pickups, this
rig might create quite a bit of low frequency content, so carefully
check how the volume setting works for you and adjust if necessary.
FX Bad Cellphone
A compressed, bit-crushed signal is fed into a dirty amp
and heavily filtered. In fact, the Graphic EQ removes 12dBs
from all bands while boosting 1250Hz by 9.5dBs. It sounds
kinda like miking an amplifier with a cell phone with poor
reception. Note how the sustain gets grainier and finally
chokes. Useful for Intros, layering and break down parts.
FX BAR Fuzz Fays Lead
A profile of the mighty Barnacle Fuzz, set to sound like a
Fuzz Face on steroids. The post-amp stereo widener,
compression and delay are all set to 'duck' out of the way
of your playing, but to get bigger when you sustain a note
or pause. Also great with the tone knob on your guitar turned
all the way down.
FX Circuit Bent Amplotron
If the Mars rover Curiosity would find an amplifier
build by an ancient civilization on the red planet, I bet
it would sound something like this. Soft Shaper, Bit
Shaper and Rate Reducer age your signal by
approximately 15,000 years and the touch wah postamp
gives it an alien vocal quality.
FX GT-1000 Nightmare
Rate reduction and a ring modulator turn a 9V practice
amp into the stuff that haunts you at night. Chords are
edgy and grainy with a pumping compression, while
higher single notes create tension with their metallic,
insectoid shadows.
FX GT-1000 Wah Lead
This fuzzy rig has a nice artificial quality to it that is
further enhanced by the Wah Phaser and has
surprisingly good definition and attack. Again, useful
for Intros, layering and break down parts.
FX Martian Dub Step
A low-pass filtered tremolo hits a distorting amp and
the result is rectified for good measure. The infamous
Dub Step 'Wobble' for your guitar. Try it with low
power chords in drop D.
FX Multi AM Clean
One tremolo and two ring modulators create a dense,
bubbly, almost 3D-ish amplitude modulation.
Arpeggiate suspended and add9 voicings with open
strings for swirly, psychedelic goodness.
FX Pick Harmonics Lead
The wah and mid-boost before the stack and the lowand
high-pass filters post stack give you a thick and
solid lead tone. When you really dig in, you can 'duck'
the delay and reverb enough to give you a crunchy
rhythm sound or make your singly note runs sound
loud and clear. Then, if you play an artificial/pick
harmonic, bend it and hold it - the delay and reverb
will come in and enlarge this one note, giving it a
dramatic quality.
FX Tesla Bagpipe in A
Nikola Tesla did a lot of things, unfortunately, he
never crossed one of his coil transformers with a
bagpipe. The fuzzed and wave-shaped signal runs
through a ring modulator tuned to the note 'A'. Forget
chords - try single notes (e.g. Amin pentatonic) and
enjoy the truly electric quality of your guitar.
