0175westwood29 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 hi guys im a bit cross about losing bottom end when i kick in an overdrive or distotion, i still want the savage nasty distorted tone but i want a nice rumbling deep bass tone underneath it. how do you go about setting up this, i know there gonna be a bit of work but im really intrigued and wanna try it out? i use a svt pro-6 going thru a 610hlf cab and was thinking of adding a loud 210 for the effects and that? ive googled and cant find any sort of drawing that show how to do it? andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 3, the SVT 8x10 cab be run as two 4x10s. Search biamp in the wiki, although for that sorta purpose might not want a crossover, just don't worry about low end loss on our distortion.

Other way is running a cable from tuner out, or with amps with multiple inputs you can run a cable as if you were bridging channels, but going between amps.

0175westwood29 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 thanks man just found a wicked vid that explained it to time to start looking for a cool little amp. that i can rackmount above my pro 6 :-) andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Surely the easiest way to keep the bottom end when using a pedal is to find one that doesn't lose any bass, or to use a blender to mix some clean bass in there. Or do both. Of course, it wouldn't be as Doom though. Edited October 5, 2009 by Musky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0175westwood29 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Just looked into some pedals for my affects. Was wandering if you guys the the digitech wammy might be a good buy? It pricey but it can go higher as opose to my boss octave pedal which only goes down? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Depends what sort of sound you want really. The whammy sounds really digital and fake to me but lots of people like that. My favourite octave up is the Foxrox Octron. It does octave down as well as octave up and sounds lush. I've tried the POG, PS5, Whammy, Unibass, French Toast and probably more I can't remember and it's easily my favourite octave up pedal. Edit: Of course the Whammy does much more than just octave up which is all I needed. Edited October 17, 2009 by joegarcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run your bass into the crossover, and send the low pass to the mixer, and the hi pas to your efx. Mix and adjust crossover point to desired balance between bottom and fuzz, send mixed signal to your SVT. o need to buy another cab if the cab you use is loud enough and goes low enough for you.

0175westwood29 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 hi guys im doing some recordings on the weekend and im gonna try using our drummers trace elliot v4 to put some distortion thru, but its come around so quickly that im struggling to find a way to split my signal. the more i think bout it the lehle splitter box i tried was broke as there was a significant drop in volume when both channels were on, so wnt be getting that. anyone know anything i can pickup asap? also is it ok to run a head with no cab? andy __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 just got my distortion amp! let the backlash begin! lol i tried it out thru a 8x6 ampeg cab the sound of the lm2 effected worked really well with the svt pro 6 that i set up and played along with it, and for 399 i couldnt say no! the cab im saving up for know hopefully will still be there in a few months! the cab in the pic is the micro vr 210 cab! got it for 270 and am planning on getting the head to match down the line but can use this with the lm2 for practicing atm. andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
