best distortion sound EVER

Haha, ok not really, but I figured I'd share:

I recommend headphones. Sounds to me like the speaker is physically ripping when I hit those low notes. I love it. Maybe not the most useable tone in a band situation.

It's a big muff going into a fulltone mosfet bass drive. The settings are at the end of the clip.

Be nice, it's my first youtube clip. My claims of awesomeness are purely satirical and not at all serious. Thanks for viewing!

With the way my talkbass is set up, it would make more sense if you pointed left instead of up.

In hindsight, the clip probably wasn't worth posting, but oh well! I was excited at the time.

I also dig it, except for the string noise at the beginning.

not my cup of tea, don't like over compressed sounds, would probably sound better if you turned the muff down.

I'm glad you like it, and Big Muffs do this to a LOT of ODs so there is a lot of room to experiment with that crumply sound, I wish I could find a way around it with some FX combos but alas................

Video no longer available for me, but I did use a $$ into my BassDrive with very satisfying results for our last recording session.

Strange, I didn't delete it. I'll see what I can do.
