Barking Spiders Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 One of my fave sounds in music is the squelchy bass sound made by the Roland TB 303. I'd really like to be able to reproduce this sound on the bass guitar but dunno how. Any fans here of classic Acid House that might be able to offer some pointers?

dannybuoy Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Copilot Orbit, but it has to be the older model with the switch as the new one can’t do the laser sounds. There was a great demo by John Davis on YouTube demoing the 303 style sounds but it seems to have disappeared! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a few to find someone getting the right sound for me but one going back to 2009 gets it right. Now to see if i can get hold of one. Which year do you suggest?

dannybuoy Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 No idea about year, but I sold my old several years ago and bought another used one a couple of years ago. The new one had 6 knobs, they added a blend control but got rid of the switch for some reason! It’s still a cool pedal without it, unique texture for a fuzz and even more usable on bass due to the blend, but those 303 sounds were nowhere to be found.

xgsjx Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 You can get close with a good filter pedal (I used to have the Moog & now have the Source Audio BEF Pro, both get decent results) & you’ll need a dirt pedal to get a bit more of that sort of tone. If you've got funds, the Roli Seaboard gets it spot on & you can control the filters on the fly, but it’s a separate instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The Source Audio Manta can do a quick downwards filter sweep and has some fuzz sounds on board too, should be able to get somewhat close with one of those. Even if you can't get a decent 303 out of it got will find another purpose for it, it's great for all kinds of EDM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
