Stick your fuzz in the loop, along with an octave down, and you've got gnarly synth noises (the alternative with a lesser filter is to stick them infront of the filter, which flattens your dynamics a bit and you don't get as good a response from the filter). A gated fuzz is best for synthy effects. If you've got more money to throw at it: My main filter is a Meatwad, which is especially handy for this sort of thing because there's a couple of switches for selecting different bands - handy when you've got dirt in the loop so you can find the band that most brings the crunch out. You also get an expression pedal input, so you can sweep the filter with your foot instead of using the envelope follower. Alternatively, if it's specifically synthy noises and not a plain envelope filter you're after just get a Bass Micro Synth. It's surprisingly effective, and I'm not just saying that because I'm selling mine. [/quote] Hi...nice info ,,I'm gonna check out BOOTZILLA pedal,that has a foot wheel/pedal and switchable fuzz...did hear about micro synth doing a good job...like the idea of exp pedal .... how much for the microsynth ??

[quote name='BassManKev' post='330064' date='Nov 16 2008, 12:59 PM']i am absolutly loving the pigtronix envelope phaser at the minute, really REALLY good pedal, but a little pricey. What are you after, subtle or extreme?? the pigtronix can do both, but if your after a more subtle filter the boomstick bottomfeeder gets good review, and i think there is one for sale in the classifieds.[/quote] Nice one ,,Ive heard snarling dogs do a" Bootzilla" fuzz/synthy pedal with switchable fuzz....I'd like to be able to do both...Thanks ...I'll give em a try.....thanks again for replyin...

[quote name='escholl' post='290671' date='Sep 24 2008, 11:05 AM']Not exactly sure, but am pretty sure it goes: Tip - White Ring - Black Sleeve - Ground The white will be the signal, and the black will be the power ground....so when a mono jack is inserted, the power ground is connected to ground by the sleeve of the jack plug, effectively completing the circuit and turning the preamp on. A switchcraft (or any other quality stereo jack) will do the job just fine. Again, not sure on the colors as i don't have a warwick so someone please correct me if i'm wrong, however that will certainly be the most logical and conventional method of connecting it.[/quote] Nice one Feller,I'll get a jack and me soldering iron out ,thanks for the advice,,take care,,,,
