noirpunk Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Been listening to 'Bonkers' by Dizzee Rascal. I love the strange sound they used on the bass line. I'm not sure how it's achieved so does anyone out there know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Sounds like a keyboard to me, but you could try a heavily compressed and gated fuzz sound. Maybe a Devi Cherry Pop, or a Wooly Mamooth. Actually, most of the Devi fuzzes will get you in the right ball park. For that sort of sound live, i use a Sinister Analog Soul Provider, which is just awesome.

noirpunk Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Thanks for the tips. How much would it set me back to get one of those pedals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noirpunk Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Do you think I'd be able to get that sound by using a load of compression and possibly my old Marshall Guvnor pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Great bass sound, probably due to Armand Van Helden's involvement. He seems to love fuzz bass tones lately, & who can blame him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does really low fuzzed up sounds, i'd imagine it would work well with a Synth pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 You'd also need a tap-tempo tremolo to get the pulsing effect in time with the beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a s/h MF105b on here & any non latching footswitch would suffice. I use mine as an overdrive for loads of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "Saw" wave kinds sounds like someone drilling through a wall next door... That's how I explain it, and this song I unfortunatly know too well (it;s on the radio at work at least 10 times a day!!!) defo sounds like a muffled Saw wave. In which case you may want a Boss SYB, either the SYB-3 or SYB-5...and I have an SYB-5 for sale LOL! (Good god...PLUGGED!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
