curtis mayfield - if there's a hell below

[lozoz]

hi all, so from a bit of research on this forum i found that the bass sound from said track is created by a MAESTRO BASS BRASSMASTER effects unit and have since found that this is now pretty rare and pretty expensive. Any suggestions for a cheaper alternative or clone that can achieve that authentic dirty analogue sound? Thanks.

Malekko B:Assmaster? Never tried it though...

Yeah there are a number of people making clones. The Malekko B:Assmaster is supposedly one of the better ones, but it's not cheap. Various Brassmaster schematics are widely known and distributed among DIY pedal sites, so I'm sure you can find a hobbyist making them cheaply (though it may not sound or look as good as Malekko's). Try searching on Ebay for "brassmaster", as that may turn up any cloners trying to sell their wares there.

If you wanna nail the Brassnmaster sound, contact Josh at Malekko about a germanium B:Assmaster.

It is that sound!
