I don't know my pedals well enough to even have the first clue, so I ask you guys, what effects if any, is he using to get that tone? |

Our band mostly plays originals, but we do cover "Keep on rockin' in the free world". I get close to his sound with the SansAmp on a overdrive setting and a little chorus. Not much mystery there, but its my small contribution.

And yes, when they are all rocking out, the bass sounds pretty wicked.
On a different note than, is it possible to get that opening riff sound out of a bass? Anybody have an idea what kind of effects the guitarist is using there? |

only thing that gave it away in this song was the very simple but thudding bass line when it joined was rumbling through my sub and the other parts weerent haha
