Whatever hes doing at the intro sounds awesome and I wanna figure out how to do it.

Please dont let this thread get derailed about how much people don't like this kind of music or something cause I can see that happening.

Logic Pro has that and I use a midi keyboard to get it. Or at least pretty close.
its an organ with distortion. or it sounds just like one.
Best if luck...

I had a feeling it was something with keys but in the video it makes it look like he's playing it on bass.

Send them a message on MySpace and see if you get a response. The bassist might tell you exactly what he's doing.

I doubt I'd get a response, they're pretty big...for that genre at least.

Yeah, the only effect he's ever been noted using is a ProCo RAT, which I don't think is gated enough for that.

But the right EQing and a fairly gated fuzz will get you close.

I don't think it's just a fuzz, it sounds like a genuine synth to me. I bet a deep impact could get close to that, I know that we've gotten similar sounds running my bass through an Access Virus

its always worth a try. i messaged Blasko when he was on Ozzfest and he replied a couple days later telling me what he had on his pedalboard. i dont think the blood brothers are bigger then Ozzy.. let alone in the middle of a tour like Ozzfest

True but they also confirmed their breaking up less than a month ago...I'll try messaging them but they probably won't wanna talk about it.

Something like the 8-Bit Fuzz from FXDoctor may get you on the way to this sound.

it is played by keys (like already stated above) Live he will either play keys, bass, or guitar. Usually just one of those per song. His tone live was great. he had 2 ashdown 8x10 setups. one for keys, one for bass.
