Al Heeley Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It's been a nostalgic evening of youtube browsing for me, came across Silent Wings of Freedom from Yes - Tormato, which I've not listened to for 15 years or more, still for me one of the strongest songs on that album. Any idea what fx he's using on the bass for this track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 An Eventide Harmonizer & probably also a Mutron (for the wah type effect). Squires sound on that album is absolutely wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 i could hear some chorus and envelope going on, it is a great bass sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Heeley Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thx! Continuing my Yes nostalogia journey, I've moved on to 'into the lens' now from the Horn/Downes era. Didn't rate the album Drama very highly but always loved this song, easily the strongest from this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Vallance Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Chris is definitily using the Eventide Harmoniser fir that deep Chorus effect. The only way I’ve come close to that Is using two Electro Harmonix bass clone pedals, depth full on, rate on low around 9 - 10 o’clock. Too much rate gives a bit too much modulation.The cross-over switch on should be up position. Edited December 7, 2019 by Mick Vallance Had to clarify ‘rate’ position on pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
