Amp Inquiry

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey everyone, dra here.
I'm glad to see the bassmasta legacy is continued, I was registered for the previous forum but I didn't post much, glad to be back

My question here, and aye, I have searched for it, is about an amp with a specfic effect. I wasn't sure to put it in this thread or effects, but I'm focused on an amp so I settled here.

I'm curious if there is an amp somewhere out there with a water drop effect. I may not have the right description of it, but that's how I know it. If anyone is confused, basically an effect that resembles the sound you make with your mouth (like on Ferris Bueller's Day Off)

Is there an amp with such abilities? Or is this just wishful thinking?

Possibly the most bizarre question ever. You need a sampler with the water drop sound on it.

That sounds like reverb which does not work out well with bass as a general rule.

Haha, I'm flattered at the bizarre rating, I thrive on it, but it is indeed random, I know, but I one day got a piece in my head that used that sound, I'm glad to know I'm a pioneer of something, so what's the verdict? Do I just need a split second sample and ask someone to calibrate it? Or should I scrap it all together and let the piece fade away?

I had an old Digitec pedal that I used to set with some echo and repeat with decay for Pink Floyd's "The Wall". got some ooos before it gave up the farm. Lost two effects banks in it so now it is just a headphone amp.

Just get a reverb pedal, if that's what you're looking for. Amplifiers that have built-in reverb are meant for guitar, not bass.

Right on, well I want it to be for the bass, so I'll do some shopping around, maybe I'll find something cool, thanks everyone
