Prieto, that tone is cool, though the mids are scooped quite a bit. I imagine he's using a HUGE amp.

But if you watch the video, he shows you his sound without the pedal. Use that sound to set the AMP. Either the GK or the Blueline will get it. I used the Blueline.

Then set the BDDI, always keeping your low end while being sure to keep the mids under control. If you get too many high mids in there, you'll lose that character.

You'll have to tweak your EQ a but for your setup, but here's my settings for the Making Frienemies clip.


And my secret weapon, set for ROOM reverb, just to give a little ambience.

Here's the clip again so you don't have to go searching for it.

i thought you were posting the favorite enemies (ben) clip so no one had to go far to find it. heres the original clip if anyone wants to give it a try
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBKxMaWSKuU

i tried to match the clip in AT using the Pedals:red compressor, black distortion, 6 band eq, then noise filter last into the CL with 4x12b cab and the sm57 and then mastering FX (PARA EQ and then COMPRESSOR)

I went and listened to this one again just now from the hiss comments.
In the original there wasnt much hiss at all while hearing it in app. But hearing it on soundcloud huge amounts. I'll go back in and repost this to see if there is a change. It doesn't sound like the original. very tiny sounding on the soundcloud file too
Hmmmmmm?

Brian when is the release date for the iRig hd

[adambomb]

Anything coming down the pipe to mention about any other possible releases (I'm sure the IK developers are working on something) is there anything coming in the 1st quarter to iOS AT?

[Duke21]

The upcoming update of Jamup with channel choice (1st or 2nd channel), more flexible stomp box choices and could we hope for more? This update should come during this month.

[Rip Topaz]

Anybody else get the newsletter from Agile Partners (AmpKit)?

Apparently there's an update coming, with some really cool stuff, including Audiobus support. It'll be able to be used in all three slots: input, effects, AND output.

[adambomb]

Oh my......what will Brian tell us?

Great news, Ampkit will be re- installed on my iPads when this happen!!

[Duke21]

With no Audiobus support I'll not install Amplitube on my iPads as the Amplitube do not add any new special tone that I can't get on Jamup, well regarding bass amps. There are some pedals on AT which I really dig, like the Moller, the Fender Phaser. Bit it is not enough for me. So, I'll wait until IK add some new and cool/ unique bass gear or features to the app.

I know I want him to respond he "got his number" then we haven't heard from him again I was hoping he would start to be more interactive. At least Calvin has responded

Hello guys! I'm not as active lately but I'm following the thread.

Duke, I was listening to your medley the other day. Nice sounds in there. Has me thinking I should probably learn how to play with a pick; the attack is so different with a pick.

Rip, good to see you're recovering well.

Adam, I gotta go back and review your (and Rip's) take of the frienemies sound. Ben uses a custom bass from a shop in Montreal so his bass' voice may be a big part of "his sound".

Here's another:
take 2

still very hissy in AT because of the amps and all the pedals thats just the nature of AT i guess.
also the track again wasnt this hissy (it was a bit but not as much as after the upload. so give the settings a try. even the saved track is not this hissy something about the upload is compressing the dynamic or something and its not as full so its coming out more intensely high bright if that makes sense. but i would use this live. in listening to it as the track plays in APP its much closer than the others i have done so it is getting dialed in for sure.

[adambomb]

Also my ultra switches are still backward so the ultra high is off and the low is on
I used the portaflex because of this thread.
i would probably use the blueline in JAMUP for the next try
his active bass im sure has a lot to do with the beginning tone

[adambomb]

i need to familiarize myself with the recorder in jamup it seems it would be easier to work with instead of all the pedals in AT to work with the one BDDI in JAMUP.
.......more to come
