Bit messy sometimes but great guitar rock, this is very good

Fuzz are all about being messy. They'd stab holes in amps and pour water IN them to make them sound 'worse'.

Whenever I thought about trying to emulate that garage sound, whats a better path; geting an old 30w amp and poking holes in the inside speaker dish, or use digital effects/VSTs?

If you had a nice space to record in, then definitely go poking holes in stuff. Like a whole setup with drums too. But that's not always easy to come by. 

So for just sitting at home, there's absolutely all kinds of VST's you can get to reduce the quality. You want to cut out a lot of the high and lows, which you can hear if you run something like a Vinyl effect over the top. 

You could also then run an Impulse Response over it too, something that was recorded in an actual garage for instance, making it sounds 'smaller'.

Ahh, so the analogue option is preferred? I guessed so, it's like when vinyl scratches are put digitally on some recordings, you can just *tell*

Well doing it for real is always going to sound better I guess. At least if you're going for a lo-fi garage rock type vibe.  But the logistics of actually doing that aren't great. How often are you going to have all the time, space and equipment. And people. 

Don't get me wrong, you can do a lot with VST's and they're leagues better than 10 / 15 years ago.

Interesting :) I'd love to hear an album purely done on busted gear, without any sort of mastering, would be chaotic lol

There's a patch on Guitar Rig i got thats apparently 'Slash' but it's got so much reverb and delay that I reckon it's nicked from Devin Townsend. Sounds glorious though, I love when you can make walls of noise.

Without mixing / mastering would probably make your ears bleed but I'm sure there's a few out there on Soundcloud.

Ahah, that's pretty much all Soundcloud offers besides piss poor Vaporwave Rap
