Albini
Bassman into a PA speaker cabinet.
Travis Bean guitar (well not in Big Black, but later)
Harmonic Percolater (fuzz sound on Mama Gina by Shellac)
metal picks
lots of treble.
Now I've never heard anything to this effect, but if you run a really trebley pretty chorus (like EHX Clone Theory) before a distortion. . . you can get a sound very reminiscent of Big Black, Husker Du, and Die Kreuzen.
