Lfalex v1.1 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Having recently acquired a fine EUB, I was just wondering, are there are other non-purists who use effects/multi effects with an upright? If so, which ones? I'd love some sort of modulation box with a tap tempo for chorus/ flanger and a delay/reverb with a tap tempo on that,too. I don't suppose anyone manufactures an all-in-one unit that allows adjustment for rate/depth/tone filtering.. Or am I just asking too much?

Beer of the Bass Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 When I used to use an EUB, I had a Boss OC2 and a homebuilt envelope filter (from the circuits in Craig Andertons Electronic Projects for Musicians book). The filter along with the bow could create a sound akin to a goose being strangled, which I quite enjoyed from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Chorus a dash of reverb and octave generally, although I have tried playing with some drives and filters for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I saw Edger Meyer play with Nickelcreek years ago and he was rocking some overdrive and an envelope filter whilst playing Arco, sounded great, but then he's an incredible player.

cheddatom Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I think the roger linn box in the effects for sale forum might be what you're after!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I just go for a tiny bit of chorus, the same default I use for bass guitar. The sort of amount where you don't quite realise it's there until it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I use a bass synth pedal and an octaver on mine (not all the time though) have also used fuzz at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm wondering about the merits of a B3... The blurb says the tap function can control all of the modulation fx and tie them to the same tempo.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Well, my band with the EUB was a sort of free improv noise ensemble, so it wasn't even the strangest noise in the room most of the time.

elephantgrey Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I just got reminded of a YT vid i saw a while back: http://youtu.be/HnbZb6rSgp0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Not sure I liked that. Over-application of a tap-controlled flanger/ noise gate combined with short slides sounds exactly like the sound effects they dubbed over laser bolts in the 80's. A smidge of ring modulator on the top end, and I reckon you could nail the Battlestar Galactica tone. But that's probably NOT what I bought an EUB for...

Owen Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I fancy setting up a filter which will open and close depending on bow pressure. I even have the kit to do it. One day I will do it. I'm sure I will. I have used an OC2 which was a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
