Sign in to disble this ad
so this IS the tone i had always wanted  but could never put it into words. please help me reach this tone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2bEARZRIB0
what would be the eq settings?? (i have a 7band boss bass eq)
is there any overdrive onto the bass here? if yes then which pedal gets me here and more the cheapest?  (am sorry i have no clue if the signal is really overdriven or not)
anything else on it?  
thanks in advance! EDIT: our signal is sent to the FOH through a DI box and the amp is never miked here, the DI box comes into the signal chain before the rig so amp+cab does not play any role in my tone

You can get the Behringer ripoff of the sansamp for about that price or less, but it's noisier, less reliable, and I don't think the DI output is useable.
But you really are better off to invest in gear like the Sansamp now, as it will save you in money in the future. When you get tired of the weak tone next year, and come back to us for advice, and we say, "get the sansamp," you'll have to buy it anyway, and the knockoff pedal you spent $150 is now a worthless piece of junk... essentially costing you $450 instead of $300 in the first place. |

| | | | its definately some form of grit, and most likely a P-bass, or p-bass knock off. doesent sound like a real svt to me, sounds like a pedal on low gain. the differnce is definately not big though. either one is a good choice.
if i was aiming for that tone, i'd use a visual sound jekyll and hyde pedal, on the jekyll channel, with the gain all the way down. something like a EBS valve drive will probobly be just as good.

For the money, there is nothing better as far as I know. Only drawbacks are that it can be a it fiddly to dial in your sound. See if you can get one second hand so if it disappoints you can sell it on. |

Bad Monkey, perhaps? |
