      Getting the garage rock/punk sound

      Sorry for my bad english

      Hi, I have a punk band with my friends but our real passion is garage rock.

      I tried so hard but i can't get that sound.

      I bought fuzz so I get closer, but still it's doesn't sound similar to "Ty Segall" or "Jay Reatard"

      I'm very sorry if it's isn't the right forum for that, but can please someone help me? :(

      As far as I understand a lot of the distortion in garage rock comes from overdrive distortion from tube amplifiers (or tube pre-amps). Buying tube amplifiers and abusing them might be out of your price range but there's pedals and stuff that mimics the effect.

      One thing about (Fuzz) pedals , or any kind you may be looking for - Don't stop at the first one you  find , even if it sounds good. Keep trying out different pedals until you find one that you feel is YOUR sound.

      It's also a lot more than the gear you use. It's the ideas you and your bandmates bring to it.

      Listen to the original stuff , too , and see how you can apply that to your own sound.
