Guest MoJo Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What distortion / overdrive pedal would get closest to the tone Duff has during the intro and guitar break of this track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 basically a slightly overdrive dude so any low gain drive should do it. andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Fuzzrocious Dark Driving would achieve this nicely I reckon. Shameless plug: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227792-mahoosive-clearout/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisyjon Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I believe Duff uses the MXR M80 Bass di+ to achieve that sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsc89 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I always figured it was just a GK head with gain cranked a bit. I could be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Noisyjon' timestamp='1390467470' post='2345637'] I believe Duff uses the MXR M80 Bass di+ to achieve that sound. [/quote] Yep, it`s part of his "armoury" - on their old site (may still be there) his tech mentions the M80. But having a GK amp and a bass with P/J pickups are also major components of the sound - get that classic crisp GK sound, both pickups on, then add the dirt.

Guest MoJo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I've ordered an MXR M80 from Thomann. I can get close to his tone with my BB414, both pickups on but I just need that extra distortion he adds at the beginning and during the solo to fill the sound out a tad.
