| | | | i think a "regular" flipster has to less headroom. but it should be possible to get close to this sound if either the flipster is running on 18v or some of the fets are replaced by cleaner ones ( f. e. 2N5457 ) |

Sounds like a jazz bass to me. The Flipster is capable of a lot of highs and lows and organic overdrive type tone.

What's the enveloppe filter? A Mutron III?

I sold mine and later got a Sunn head, and the first time I cranked it up I was like "hey, that sounds like the Flipster!" | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
