Hi,
Firstly, I want to thank you for answering so many questions and letting many of the "secrets" out in this forum. This is to my knowledge one of the first times I've seen someone give so much valuable information, and to dedicate a subforum only to answering questions is incredibly awesome of you. So thank you.
Guitar is my primary instrument, but recently within the last year I sorta lost interested in the metal scene. My love of music began when I picked up a CD player with broken in it. So I've always had a love for industrial music. So I've been playing around with a triphop\dubstep\industrial project for a while. I've gotten my midi recording by keyboard and production to be fairly sufficient, but recording bass has been tough.
I'm in the process of getting an axe-fx which should simplify recording guitar, but I've found it extremely difficult to get any decent bass tones out of a POD X3 even though many people recommend them for bass. As a guitarist I find the POD tone to be less than ideal to put it politely. But I would really like to get that growling, fat bass tone that I heard from you so many times. I've got a schecter diamond series bass with EMG hzs and all the tone knobs. So I'm not worried about the bass, but I'm wondering what you would recommend to process the bass tones?
I've heard a few good bass tones out of the Axe-FX, but its not really designed for bass, so I would be limiting myself to one or two tones.
My second question is not bass related, but another equipment question. How on earth do you get some of those droning guitar\electronics tones?

Here's an electronic band I take a lot of influence from, I can see two pedals and the marshall setup... my question is what would your guestimate be on the electronic gear he's using to generate the "noise?"
I know as far as a lot of the sounds he's just running those through a VST with the pads, the the droning noise is some kind of electronic device ran through the marshall, the pedals I don't know what they are.
My best guesses are

Bass overdrive

and a delay pedal
to get that feedback and looping feel.
I'm also wondering how to get that sound in guitar, heres some good examples that you very well may have assisted in
(I have no idea)
