Quick question - 808 style pedal (+ a Doom 2 query).

Hi all,

 

Just a quick question.

 

Got some gigs coming up with a number of tunes with 808 style basslines.

 

Would the DOD Meatbox get me in a close enough ballpark. It doesn't need to be absolutely perfect.

 

There will be big subs and pa support, and we're using IEMs, so I don't need to worry about blowing up any backline!

 

Also, on an unrelated note - and I imagine this must have been asked a few times - does a cheaper and available alternative to the low gain fuzz of the Doom 2 exist?

 

Cheers.

Emma Electronic Okto Nøjs is very close to the Doom. Tech 21 Red Ripper is in that territory too (Sam Wilkes uses one).

Thank you- so many good suggestions! 

 

I've managed to find a used Okto Noijs. Love an octaver too, so excited to try it. Thanks @Quatschmacher

 

In terms of the 808, I've been using a subby octave down in practice and that actually sounds good. Locked in with the bass drum it kinda gives that sub-blowing effect with a big attack.

Okto Nøjs was a staple of mine for years. A fantastic pedal.
