The Geoff Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Try a Marshall Guv'nor II - it has a 4 band EQ, superbass, bass, mids & treble. Works great on bass. G.

plangentmusic Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Just a heads up. Those types of things are often fun for about 10 minutes and then you realize there aren't too many practical uses for them.

This is my experience too. + another one. I had a bass overdrive, and like they said, it was cool for a very short amount of time. Then I couldn't keep from comparing the sound of it to flatulence. Who wants to sound like a fart? Who wants a bass player who sounds like a fart? Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

Then I couldn't keep from comparing the sound of it to flatulence. Who wants to sound like a fart? Who wants a bass player who sounds like a fart? Maybe Dusty Hill of ZZ Top who often describes his tone to that of a rhino farting into a garbage can. As for me, it's a neat pedal but I currently have no use for one at the moment. Lydian mode? The only mode I know has the words "pie ala" in front of it. http://www.myspace.com/theeldoradosband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have been trying to justify effects for years and can't. They sound cool/good/interesting at home, but as soon as I get live, they just never seem to work out. For me and my gigs, it seems to work best to just go bass to amp.

The Geoff Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 To be honest, the only time I use bass fuzz is on our version of Peter Gabriel's 'Red Rain' . G.

The Bear Jew Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I think a lot of bassists prefer a very clean, high-fidelity sound, and a lot of those same bassists also like super-duper high-efficiency light-weight cabinets and extended-range basses with active pick-ups and lots of knobs and switches. I'm kind of guessing that this sort of pedal isn't going to hold a lot of appeal for those folks. But for those who dig old-school, dirty-sounding tube amps, passive pick-ups and bands named after dairy byproducts or ones with the words "Cheer" or "Railroad" in their names, I could see this pedal as a viable, useful tool. Different strokes for different folks. I think it sounds cool. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've got a hella lot of pedals and on the rare occasions when I use them, they really help out.

Danzilla Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Next time your in Baltimore, Jeremy, you can try my Homebrew Hematoma. I'll have to see if I still have the cheesy recording I made with it that I added to The Shirt's entourage and send you a copy. It was worth the money, to me.
