A Bass micro synth will get you there. I'm hearing a downward sweeping filter with some suboctave under it.

+1 I think the keyboardist is doubling the notes though, which makes it unclear. There are some points where it sound like just filter -though I suppose he could have stomped off the suboctave.

Badass tune!

Could he have been using the deep impact? I've never really heard one, and I didn't think I was hearing an OC2+Mutron (based on the pics I saw of his board iirc).

You're probably right about it just being the keyboardist doubling his notes though, you have a deep impact don't you Bongo?

Crowther prunes and custard will get you there!

That's what the ladies say, but I don't have the Akai pedal.

i used to get pretty close with my octoplus and the syb5 with an expression pedal

i'm actually not hearing the BMS,
i'd say some sort of octaver (boss oc-2) and some very light crunch tube distortion and careful EQing for when he plays the high notes and it hardly sounds like there's distortion.

Possibly a very light envelope follower?

fightthepower · #9 02-10-2009, 07:59 PM

I'm not implying that there's an actually BMS being used, but the BMS does the octaving, and will give a light distortion... and a down sweeping filter. - There's definitely a filter going on there.

For someone currently trying to get that tone with an overdrive and a muff, I still think the bms is a pretty good recommendation to get him close.

I think it's just a filter blended with his dry signal.

that's what it sounds like to me....

on a related note, i got a tone close to the synth bass from the recording of this song yesterday by running my Ampeg Sub-Blaster before my Prescription Electronics Experience. i was pleasantly surprised.

OC-2 into a Woolly Mammoth does a decent job of it too.

boss oc-2. the filtering is from the doubled keys i think. bass tone just sounds like bass with a sub-octave.

To the tone on this video? Or the tone from the original track? Because if it is the original track then I need one.

Deeper Underground

That's a clip I did AGES ago. It consists of the P+C being put through a dirty boost. In hindsight I think I went a little too heavy on the gain, but it gives you a rough idea! I've recently gotten what I believe to be a more accurate tone with the gain rolled down a bit.

funkindave · #16 02-15-2009, 03:22 PM

Akai SB-1 Deep impact! I've got one and can get that sound bang on.Bizarre and ironic is that i bought this pedal off Nick Fyffe!!

Loempiaketzer · #17 02-15-2009, 05:35 PM

Oke, thank you all for the replys so far!

ive finally managed to play the song correctly with a nice kind of groove in it. Just missing the effects now :P

I think i will go with the octaver idea. Ive wanted one for a while now so i guess i now have a decent excuse for buying one.... so here it goes

BMS
Allthough this might be the best thing i can buy for this song I dont consider the BMS an option at this point. Its way to expensive (spending max €100 on this kind of pedal) and since im in a coverband playing all kinds of music i dont think it would be a wise decision to buy the BMS just for this one song.

OC2
Ive heard/seen a review of this one. It seems it doesnt seem to know which octave to take all of the time. Video said that sometimes it goes up, other time it goes down. and get weird octave noises. But still, that could be a good thing.

OC3
any thoughts on this?

Deep impact
idno... seen clip of it. didnt like the sound. also looked around on the internetz... cant find a seller or store who has it near me.

ive also stumbled upon the EHX multiplexer. and was wondering if this could be a decent option. anyone got any experience with this one?

and if i need an octaver... why didnt noone mention the EHX POG? *not that im buying one... (budget issues

)* just wondering.

so, as i said! thanks for all your replies so far and i hope you guys can help me out some more before i go and try things out in the store.

*note: yes, i would like the kind of sound from the clip i posted originally, but if the pedal is slightly off, but could do other jobs fairly well too, its all good. Im just entering the effects world and sometimes it just overwhelms me with all kinds off flashy and allmost dangerous stuff!*

Many threads here about both the OC2 and OC3.

Many threads here about the Deep Impact. Read one, and you'll learn that it was discontinued a long time ago.

I think you get the idea already.

You know, I've been dying to sig you at some point, and I think this one takes the cake.

You are sigged.

smeet · #20 02-15-2009, 06:46 PM

It just sounds like an octaver+overdrive, not a difficult sound to get at all. The Deep Impact can do a GREAT octaver sound, if you put a bit of distortion afterwards it'll do this sound beautifully.

If you want a Deep Impact, I'm selling mine: FS: Deep Impact, Sadowsky, Bartolini, Aguilar, MOTU, Furman!!!
