DiMarco Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Seriously... I was in AWE when hooking up and kicking both the MXR M80 and EHX bass big muff after having tweaked it some to work well together... Organic, alive and oozing atmosphere. No loss of low end, tons of feedback (the good kind) and endless sustain. Anyone else noticed a fuzz pedal suddenly falls into place when you feed it with a little bit of distortion?

Dood Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Presumably you'd plugged in the output of one straight in to the other in a series chain? Just to mix it up a bit try this if you have a mixer or way of mixing two signals together. This will give you the distortion and fuzz in parallel with each other AND a clean signal throughout. It should, with a bit of tweaking sound pretty rich! Bass > M80 input M80 output > mixer channel input 1 M80 parallel output > input of fuzz Output of fuzz > mixer channel input 2 mixer output > bass amp. You can use a boss ls-2 pedal as a mixer too. Set both input levels flat as well as any EQ to start with. The blend on the m80 to 50% when using the drive channel. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 As a matter of fact I might try that. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Depends on the units. I use an M80 for my grind tone so the distortion is always ticking over. I've an M181 Blowtorch before it and another after it in the chain and both sound better IMO with the M80 on. However I've also got a Wooly Mammoth after the M80 and it sounds muck at all setting when the distortion is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapscallion Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I love the tone of my Dark Matter with a Hyperdrive before it, it just ticks lots of boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
