Lovetone Meatball: Clips! Now with HAO Rust Ride.

willsellout · #1 10-15-2007, 12:13 AM

So I finally got off my ass and recorded some stuff with the Meatball. I recorded it with a Warwick SSII 5'er. Initially you will hear just the bass, then it will be in up mode for a bit with some minor tweaking between the breaks. Then it's onto down mode, then down mode with slap and then downmode with some fingerstyle. I tried to throw in some different lines to coax some different sounds out of it. Anyway hope you guys enjoy these.

Well I know when I was looking for one, there were no clips to be found. I am going to record some more stuff tonight with the Meatball and HAO Rust Ride which I think sound killer together.

Cool! I'll be sure to check it out.

You should start a Meatball club with the following secret greeting:

So here are some more clips of the HAO Rust Ride along with the Meatball.
Click here to hear The-lovetone-Meatball-w-HAO-Rust-Ride-on-Bass

It goes like this:
HAO
Warm, Bright, Normal
HAO With Meatball in up mode
HAO with meatball in down mode
Meatball quack fingerstyle
Meatball quack slap

Playing is simple and crappy at times, but I figured it gives a good idea. Enjoy!

The rust ride is before the Meatball. Although I havent tried it after...might be interesting.

you could also try it in the effects loop of the meatball

prsbass · #14 10-16-2007, 11:01 AM

Sounds like it might track better. I don't think I can get my Mutron to sound like that when I slap. I don't know maybe I better check it again.

Yeah I'll try that when I get home to see the differences between before and after and in the loop. I just the versatility of this pedal. I can't wait to use it as a Wah.

I have to say, a meatball sounds like the filter in my head. Too bad I've never owned one

I did a lot of research on here and tried quite a few cheaper(less expensive) pedals before shelling out the cash for this one. To me, it's absolutely worth it. I would love to try out the Chunk Systems to see how it compares. So far, it and the original Mutron were the only pedals that i haven't been able to try out. The Lovetone is expensive but it can do just about anything any other Filter can do.

. Best part is that if you don't like it, you won't have any problem selling it for what you paid.

there are 2 on eBay at the moment...

both in the UK one is at 122GBP and the other is at 300GBP with a 450GBP buy it now...

they've both got over 4 days to run though...

don't think 300 quid is a bad price (that's what they were new) and any less is a bit of a steal...

mind you makes them kind of expensive for Americans due to the exchange rate...

btw I should be recording this evening... Rickenbacker 4003 into meatball with blue ringer into fuzz factory in the loop

will try to post a clip later
