you could get close to that sound but dont think you'll nail it. depends how close you want i guess? and whether its worth the hassle of carrying a pedal or 2 more??

i haven't really used the sd-1 but the juice can give you some nice fuzz sounds with the boost switch on. not the best in my opinion but thats just my taste. however i use it to add some dirt to almost everything i play then hit the boost to give a little lift as and when. i do still have several fuzz and distortion pedals on my board for my needs. in short - for dirt yes, for fuzz, maybe not. worth checking out. also, its a pedal that doesn't seem to get much love around these parts which confuses me as its a staple for me.

thanks xgsjx!

nice! just to clarify, is it possible to recreate the bass sound in this bands song using just my bass, amp and some kind of effect? ie what effect is being used within the track. by the by, the track is not something i like, just the bass sound that drops in the first verse cheers

is this possible with mi geetar and how? thanks [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgvK78jHUnA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgvK78jHUnA[/url]

not sure what you're looking for but look at the subdecay noisebox. maybe not ideal for you but you can get some pretty far out sounds

agreed. not a fan of the syb-5. you can get some good fun sounds but nothing i've managed to get into a track. used it live for some self-indulgence but nothing else. for cheap i'd defo recommend the digitech bass synth wah. pick one up for about 40 quid and it still gets a look in on my board

[quote name='TomTFS' post='1363200' date='Sep 5 2011, 06:20 PM'] Looks like some kind of Fulltone, an MXR M80, Boss Graphic, tuner, delay, noise suppressor, plus the vocal effect thing and reverb? Also an EHX POG and Digitech looper/delay and a danelectro pedal. You can find the exact ones yourself. [/quote] Nice work mate!

So, i've been listening to The Joy Formidable album for a while now and really dig the bass tone throughout. Been searching around t'web for some info on what he's using effect-wise but to no avail. Can anyone shed any light/hazard a guess? From what i can gather there's quite a few.... cheers

ahhh. i may be missing something here then. pretty new to this ohms game. just got an old wt800 with a D410XST. trying to get another cab so i can leaved one at a studio and leave one at home. pretty heavy beast this cab i got and my back will not thank me shifting around too much. also trying to get my head around the inputs from amp to cab etc. like i say, i'm used to newer gear which i just plugged in with no thought. i do have a trace 2x10 which says 8ohm which would be fine for home but currently the eden is connected via some prongy (tech talk) things rather than the jack. there is a jack input in the amp which i was told would cut the power by half or something. any advice from owners or more knowledgable folk would be most appreciated. just don't want to blow the amp. cheers guys (with an embarassed vacant stare

looking at sorting a new cab but needs to be 8hm. ideally wanting a 6x10. what are my options and what are the best out there? cheers

got a eden WT800A and trying to get my head round ohms etc. kinda got the idea (?) but wanted a simple answer to this wee question before i potentially melt it. can i plug the head into a trace elliot 1028H. it says 8 ohms on the cab so presume that its possible? thanks in advance p

count me in!!

Sounds like a synth pedal to me, couldn't tell you which one or which settings though. I'd probably do it with an octaver, a LPF (Low Pass Filter) and some mild distortion, might add a phaser in there for good measure.[/quote] thanks for that. defo check out more of their stuff. making waves for good reason

could someone please check out this video to my mates band and suggest what effect creates that bass sound? he's very hush hush on his setup. cheers [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_AMXrMxXyg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_AMXrMxXyg[/url]

So i picked this up cheap and i'm playing around with it. Getting some, well, decent(ish) sounds. Whilst i'm messing around with it i thought 'would'nt it be nice to have some examples of other bass players settings??'. So here we are. Apart from the obvious 'get rid of it jibes' can any of you lovely folk give me some examples of settings? That would be ace. Cheers

Well Leeds is full of good venues and decent promoters. A good one is Carpe Diem as it's free entry and right in the centre of town. Get in touch with a promotion group called Under the Radar or Andrei for the At The Crossroads night. Both on alternate Saturdays. No pay but always a decent size crowd and the customary free beer. Onstage sound can be a tad hit or miss but overall a nice place to deal with. And they put on all sorts. Cockpit's a good venue and is mostly sorted through Andy at Futuresound Promotions. They generally require you to sell tickets but it's one of the better venues. Brudenell Social Club is by far the best venue IMHO but getting a gig there can be tricky. Great place to play. they get alot of relatively 'successful' touring bands but its small and has a MASSIVE local community. There's a bunch of other decent venues aswell but it would take an age to list them all with their promoters etc: Milo's - city centre. Don't really put on metal but they love blues, indie, hip hop and punk Smokestack - city centre. Funk, soul, hip hop, experimental HiFi - city centre. Funk, soul, jazz, hip hop These and the usual university rooms and O2 academy (unfortunately i wouldn't know;(). One last thing is a clubnight at The Library venue just outside town in Hyde Park. The night's called 360 and it's run by a chap called Richard Watson. He's the best promoter in Leeds and does loads for 'unsigned' local bands but he may well help out of town bands/artists too. He puts on loads of different styles but they generally sit well together.
